Diesel Electric Services (Pty) Ltd prides themselves in their contribution towards the success of Soccer City's infrastructure (2010's flagship stadium)

The opposition were blown right out of the water with Diesel Electric Services (Pty) Ltd's own “vuvuzela.”

Diesel Electric Services (Pty) Ltd won an open tender to design, manufacture, install and commission 4 x 500 kVA and 1 x 650 kVA Diesel Generator sets on a “no break generators on/mains return system” and to supply, install and commission 4 x 350kVA and 1 x 450kVA Uninterruptible Power System.

Service Advisor, Chris Brown

The 4 x 500 kVA Diesel Generators and 4 x 350kVA UPS's will power the stadium lights and the 650kVA Diesel Generator and 450kVA UPS will power the media centre and executive suites. Protection against supply authority failure is ensured by running the stadium on generator power from 4 hours prior to the game to approximately 1 hour after the game.

To ensure additional protection against outages the Uninterruptible Power Systems with 10 minute battery back-up was installed. The reason for this equipment was to ensure that the lights and media centre / executive suites are never without power – not even for a second. This design concept was utilized because the lights take a considerable amount of time to re-strike which could plunge the stadium into darkness if there was a power loss from Eskom.

A further feather in Diesel Electric Services (Pty) Ltd cap is the installation of a 350kVA Diesel Generator to back up the power supply to the Telecommunications Network at the Stadium.
