Data helping the Metro to save energy

25 May 2016 By Alan Straton

Having access to global resources through the fastest data line in the Eastern Cape is helping companies and consumers to save power in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro and beyond.

In order to counter ever-rising electricity costs companies and consumers are looking at ways of cutting back on usage without compromising on productivity or their lifestyles.

IDM Solutions, a company that analyses energy data in order to measure and verify energy saving opportunities, is now housed at Propella Business Incubator.

Owner Tim Whitaker says the company is growing and getting ahead of its thanks to the mentorship offered at the hub, as well as being able to connect to support from around the world through a 100 mb data line.

If you have a business idea that requires fast speed internet contact Propella on 041 5023700 to book an appointment with business support manager Ellen Fischat.
