A spoke in the wheel: Wheeling electricity offers a solution to SA’s power crisis – so why is it not happening in Mpumalanga, the energy heartland?

The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) recently released Net Billing Rules for public comment. The rules outline how Prosumers must get compensated for feeding electricity into the grid. Video summary:

As part of the EG Workshop, municipalities went on a site visit to @CSIR's solar PV power plant. With the new rules allowing municipalities to generate their own electricity, this was an excellent opportunity for municipalities to learn about different technologies #solarenergy
We’re in the middle of our annual training for municipalities to process solar applications. Notably more enthusiasm and less resistance from municipalities each year 💡☀️
The Municipal Embedded Generation Training is currently underway in Cape Town ⚡

This is a great summary on the need for fixed charges on electricity tariffs.
A number of media are contacting me for comment on the separation of network access & energy components of electricity tariffs. So herewith my views on the subject which I hope will clarify things more rationally:

Still waiting for the day a journalist (any journalist) understands the difference btw adding some PV and going off-grid. This doesn't make life any easier or cheaper to go off-grid🤦... Because it's not about going off-grid businesstech.co.za/news/ener…

We're delighted to be an implementing partner for the
UKPact and excited to develop #ElectricVehicle Readiness in the @CityofJoburgZA focusing on grid capacity requirements, charging infrastructure needs, and the financial resources required.”

1/3 The statements being made in the media that Eskom is asking customers with solar energy to pay more are factually incorrect. All customers will be offered the same tariffs.

If the number 666 is considered evil, then technically, 25.8069758 is the root of all evil.
