How can I disconnect from Eskom grid?

[supersunbird]

He’s an Eskom direct customer.

I realise buying agri land with no existing connection is the best route but that may not be necessary if I can get the municipality to remove their bodgey grid connection.

So you saying the OP misspoke?

I think that is a load of BS.

Yea re checked the docs
And seems i must have misunderstood

Yes it seems the study was requested by george muni, and thus the change was proposed and was approved by council and Nersa

So yea others may not go the same route

But some will and where a trend starts to form others will follow

George did it
Now pretoria is doing it

It makes sense for munis as they have a demand fee they need to pay that is affected by how users use the network

Backup power recharging is bumping up the peak demand that they need to recoup
If it isn't by units sold levy is the next cow to milk

Easily solved with TOU tariffs for use and feed-in. They can fek off with their socialism line taxes. We managed for the last 100 years without it just fine.
