A plan to end load-shedding fast

How to end load-shedding — fast

South Africa must urgently launch a project where various mining, energy, industrial, and agricultural companies connect wind and photovoltaic solar power plants with battery storage to the grid.

Energy expert Chris Yelland has proposed a national priority project to build 10,000 megawatts of renewable energy and 5,000 megawatts of battery storage in two years.

It's been ongoing for 15 years and will continue for yonks.

For the project to succeed, Yelland said it would need committed leadership at the highest level of government, supported by an experienced project execution executive team.

Still-born then..

Actually no it hasn't, I wish people would stop saying that.
2008,2015,2018 through to now. It hasn't been 15 years of continuous shedding

Highly Unlikely.

Actually to end loadshedding the ANC must be voted out of power as the first step.

For once I agree with Chris Yelland!

Home users would also have to do their part by adding 10% of the 15GW to the grid.

Yes especially on the residential side. Everyone can afford a few panels. It’s not about everyone putting in a massive solar system but rather as many people as possible putting in an affordable solar system. Before you know it we’ll have more than 1.5GW of installed solar on houses.

But it has been more than 15 years of continuous steady decline, now really getting momentum.

That is likely what most people are saying or thinking, the detail is being overshadowed by the bigger picture shiitshow.

Right now, and going forward, does it really matter that we had no load shedding at times in the past?
How will that improve anything?

Only long term solution is nuclear.

However, with the current government or a similar one replacing them, there is no solution that will be sustainable.

Only long term solution is nuclear strike.

Please delete your post. If everyone finds out about it it will stop working.
