Barloworld Power (Pty) Ltd

Forming part of the global and multi-disciplinary Barloworld Limited group, Barloworld Power, a division within Barloworld South Africa (Pty) Ltd, is strategically positioned to meet a broad range of energy and commercial engine solutions in the southern African market. The commercial offering extends to include mining and construction equipment, marine propulsion, and locomotive engines.
In terms of its electrical generation supply focus as a business, Barloworld Power is responding to two of the most pressing issues facing the private and public sector, both locally and internationally, namely power security, and sustainable energy management.
Risk factors on the energy supply side include escalating electricity tariff hikes from state-run utilities, with knock-on penalties for exceeding pre-set consumption targets, plus unscheduled power outages that will place intensified cost pressures on businesses, eroding profitability, unless effectively managed.
