question - does the estimated cost include the rental costs???

doubt it.

The fact that it runs on heavy oil (bunker fuel)...eish...that stuff is nasty as f & definitely not something you want near you. Thank goodness my family is in GP...

power its aging open cycle gas turbines (OCGTs).

Will never work - no money to be made for the connected now that we know what the cost per kw/hr is.

It makes me so mad that we could park some ships around the coast and end load shedding if we had a government that gave a damn.

These dudes have not factored in the value of kickbacks that will have to be paid.

Unless they can put forward a model that makes a s**t load of money for a connected few, this will not see the light of day.

Better still, let Zuma's lawyer, Hulley, structure the deal and prepare the contract......

Serious error in that infographic - the backhander iconograph.

if eskom doesn't take a deal like this it will simply not cope and will still be implementing load shedding in 2050. Its like a person with pride who doesn't want to admit he needs help
