A new luxury apartment block, at 57 North Beach Road in Umhloti has recently been completed by GPS KZN. This ultra-luxurious six apartment exclusive development is on the beach in Umhloti. Every unit has unsurpassed views of the beach and a 180° vista of the Indian Ocean.
GPS was appointed to provide the LPGas water heating, hobs and gas braais for all the units. Gas is fed from the cylinder gas store on ground level, up two utility ducts to provide safe, reliable and efficient energy to all floors.
A key component of this development was to not be reliant on municipal electricity. This was achieved by putting all high energy consumption appliances on gas and adding a solar PV and battery system.
Another new apartment block, Summer Ridge, in Umhlanga has also recently been completed.

Many advantages
With gas now being the most reliable energy source, all these developments can be assured of hot water and cooked meals during any length of power cuts.
With SA’s local gas production and gas imports to our coastal terminals, South Africa has had a constant supply of LPGas since 2011 and new coastal storage for LNG is also on its way to further enhance the Natural Gas supply for the growing demand for low carbon energy sources.
Natural Gas is the least carbon-intensive fossil fuel with 90X less Sulphur Dioxide, 5X less Nitrogen Oxides and 50% less CO2 than ESKOM coal produced electricity.
