In this episode of Empowered by Schneider Electric, Becky Mangnall (Commercial Manager, Secure Power), Deepak Sharad (European Category Manager), and Autumn Topping (Secure Power Division) discuss why backup power is becoming a must-have for electricians, contractors, and homeowners alike.

With the UK’s digital switchover underway and smart devices driving demand for always-on connectivity, reliable power is more critical than ever. The team introduces two new Schneider Electric innovations:

• Wi-Fi Backup UPS – a compact, plug-and-play unit designed to keep routers and essential devices powered for up to four hours during outages.

• Portable Off-Grid Power Stations – lightweight, versatile battery packs with AC, USB-C, wireless charging, solar recharging, and built-in lighting. Perfect for contractors on-site, emergency home kits, or even camping trips.

They share how these solutions protect customers from downtime, create new upsell opportunities for contractors, and ensure peace of mind at home and work.
