ESP Community Chats | Connect with Your Neighbours

More Than Just Loadshedding

ESP's community is about people helping people. While loadshedding brought us together, our chats have grown into vibrant communities where neighbours support each other, share local knowledge, and build stronger connections.

From organizing community events to sharing local business recommendations, our chats help create real connections that make neighbourhoods stronger and more resilient, even when the lights are on.

Community Support

Our chats are built on the spirit of Ubuntu - "I am because we are." Members regularly help each other with everything from emergency situations to everyday challenges, creating a network of support that extends beyond power outages.
