Surge in Demand for Generators as Storm Season Looms
Australia’s storm season is causing growing concern about power outages and sparking unprecedented demand for portable generators, batteries and power stations.
Energy retailer Outbax has seen a 60 percent surge in demand so far this quarter alone, reflecting the increasing anxiety among Australians who are seeking reliable backup power solutions to weather the potentially harsh conditions expected this season.
“The Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting a particularly active storm season, with experts warning of potential blackouts and infrastructure damage, particularly in NSW, Victoria and Queensland,” says David Sedighi, Chief Operating Officer of Outbax.
“These storms bring the likelihood of damaging winds, heavy rainfall, and flooding, often leading to widespread blackouts that can last for hours or even days. In response, homeowners are taking matters in their own hands to prepare.”
“The demand for our portable generators, batteries and power stations is at an all-time high as people search for reliable and backup power solutions, particularly in areas prone to extreme weather.”
“With rising living costs, more Australians are choosing affordable, portable power solutions that don’t require complex installations.”
“Outbax is a leading supplier of portable power products and our busiest months are September, October and November as more Australians prepare for the challenges of storm season.”
“Our Gentrax GT3500 Inverter Generator is a bestseller as it’s the size of an esky that can power fridges, washing machines, air conditioners, televisions, computers and has almost 400 five-star customer reviews.”
“The unpredictability of storms in Australia means that having a backup power source has become a necessity rather than a luxury.”
“Outbax’s range includes eco-friendly options such as solar-powered generators and lithium batteries, which have been particularly popular.”
