The two generators that was delivered on 29 June 2023, had since been mounted on the trailers and the mobile units are temporarily stationed at the Fire Brigade in Bredasdorp. Once the cable connections had been completed, the units will be deployed to the ODM depots at Caledon and Swellendam to serve as backup generators for the site offices and petrol pumps situated at these depots. From these locations, the mobile generators could then easily be deployed to assist with any dire needs at the nearby local municipalities in the Overberg District. The connections cost and cabling, necessary to connect the mobile emergency generators to operate, was not provided for in the original business plan. However, there is sufficient funding available within the grant allocation to cater for these necessary requirements. The mobile unit at Swellendam was finally installed and commissioned in January 2024 and the connection for the mobile unit for Caledon had been completed. The mobile generator which was stationed at the Fire Brigade in the meantime, can now be deployed to Caledon.
