Power outage costs and impacts to businesses

Why is power becoming less reliable?
The demand for electricity is unlikely to reduce for as long as the population continues to grow. This means that each year, greater demands are placed on the energy grid and it is increasingly becoming unable to cope! Sungard Availability Services states that buildings across England and Wales have experienced approximately 4.9 million planned and 96 million unplanned power interruptions over the past 5 years. Time to think of implementing an uninterruptable power supply?
What are the costs of power outages to your business?
How will my business potentially be affected? According to National statistics, a single hour of downtime is said to cost a small business an average of £800 and a large commercial organisation £8,500. The effects of a power outage on a business can include:
- Loss of unsaved data on PC
- Damage to sensitive it equipment
- Missed deadlines
- Interrupted production runs
- No access to e-commerce websites
Imagine if you had loss of power for a day!
