Eskom warns it will cut off electricity to people with solar panels if they are unsafe

Eskom says it can cut supply to any solar or battery installation deemed to be "unsafe".

Sounds like Eskom is trying to exhaust OUTA's legal resources, by continuously moving the goalposts. Typical mafia/monopolist tactics...

 

[Swa]

How about cutting off non paying "customers"? A COC already proves an installation is safe.

 

[x7razor]

Eksom se push

 

[thebigguy]

Need to get some more panels, still have lots of roof space, some more batteries and give eksdom the ..!..

Hell yeah. Ok with this agreement. You thieving corrupt kants

ANC would lose to many votes to ever allow that to happen. The free stuff brigade is the only reason they are still in power at all. It's the common denominator between the ANC,MK and EFF, they make empty promises which the less intelligent accept at face value.

Probably a good move on Eskoms part, would just force more and more people to be self-sufficient with power.

Just make your installation "unsafe" then Eskom cuts you off, no need for lengthy and difficult disconnection processes and costs, they do it all for you, for free.

Yeah, don't threaten me with a good time.

They can barely turn it on, this is an empty threat

Yeah, but knowing the ANC they may still try to charge you some fees, even when disconnected.

And who knows what CitiPower in Joburg could get up to ?

Once the new Na+ batteries become available, offgrid would be very viable.

Good luck to them on that front.

Battery prices still going to halve in next 5 years so it gets worse and worse for eskom as time goes on.

I agree, but a few ANC municipalities (Thaba Chweu Local Municipality) have started charging a fee (on the rates account) to residents that have solar installations.

AFAIK some organisations (AfriForum) have taken this up.
