SurePower: Communication tool to manage the crises of a Black-Out

SurePower is a ground-breaking service mobile communication strategy when setup  can effectively manage any power outage crisis or other supply services disruption   SurePower provides a window of opportunity to the  Electrical Power Distributor to be a good corporate citizen to  embrace the public in conversation while  managing effectively the pending energy crisis.

SurePower provides the missing link in a cost effective fashion to Electricity Distributors as a ways and means to communicate effectively their services to their customer base, especially when a power disruption occurs to their clients.

The SurePower utalizes a system called PowerCell which is  an aggregrate dataset of electricity users in an affected area, made possible after the completion of an innovative survey using mobile technology. which in turn determines  the exact location of the  consumer with their mobile set,  at the time power disruption.

This  dataset provides intelligence on exactly who will be impacted at all times prior to the planned loadshedding. This means that the utility can effectively plan in advance any load shedding during peak demand times  of electricity supply, all made  with good judgement, since  the consumer is aware in advance of the power disruption, he/she can now be proactive in dealing with the disruption.

An SMS is sent out by the Electrical Power Distribution in advance of the disruption to the specific affected electricity user informing them of the imminent cut and conversely the  restoration of services to their premises or area of operation.

It is important to note that good demand side management of electricity during peak demand hours of the day will reduce the  wasteful excess generators and fuel, in turn reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

SurePower service will empower the Utility Distributor to have a rapid response system to effectively manage the utility crisis, this system can also be an  effective tool for other services such as:  gas and  water reticulation, especially during times of  Health / disease outbreaks , Telecommunication, Road service disruptions and natural disasters like Tsunami Flooding and Hurricanes.

In conclusion , the minimal cost of the mobile communications for SurePower is in stark contrast to the huge benefits  accrured to the ulity, public and the environment.
