This is due to the country's energy crisis and the need to reduce carbon emissions. Furthermore, more individuals and businesses in South Africa are opting for generator rental services instead of purchasing generators outright. This is due to the high upfront costs associated with buying a generator, as well as the maintenance and storage costs.
