About us
Electrical contractors and renewable energy specialists, based in Cape Town and working across the Western Cape.
We're the electrical team behind flagship retail stores, restaurant roll-outs, head offices, family homes and off-grid wine farms.
Imperial Power (Pty) Ltd is a trusted electrical contractor in the Western Cape, providing electrical solutions for residential, commercial and industrial projects. With years of experience and a commitment to excellence, we specialise in electrical installations, repairs and maintenance.
Our team of skilled electricians is dedicated to delivering safe and reliable solutions tailored to your needs. Whether you need wiring, lighting or power distribution, count on Imperial Power to get the job done efficiently and affordably.
Alongside traditional contracting, we design and install solar PV, battery storage, generator integration and UPS systems, so your building keeps running when the grid doesn't. And because we do both, the renewable system and the installation it connects to are designed together and certified by the same team.

How a project runs

Site visit and logging
We assess the site and, for energy projects, install a power logger to measure your maximum demand and when it happens.
Design
We size and design the system from that data, choosing equipment that fits your loads, budget and space.
Supply and install
Our own electricians install to programme, including live revamps in stores that keep trading.
Test and certify
We test the installation and issue a Certificate of Compliance to SANS 10142.
Handover and support
You get a walkthrough of the system and a team you can call when you need maintenance or changes.
What you can expect from us
The things clients tell us matter most on a job site.
Safety first, always
Safe and reliable installations are the reason we exist. Every installation we complete is tested and certified before we hand it over.
Deadlines that hold
Retail and hospitality fit-outs run to opening dates. We plan around shopfitters, landlords and trading hours so your doors open on time.
One team for the whole system
Contracting, renewables, backup, lighting and automation from one contractor means one point of responsibility and no gaps between trades.
Straight answers
We size systems from measured data and quote clearly, so you know what you're paying for and why.
