Indeed, in many countries one can chose from a series of private energy companies, with different rates: fixed rates, TOU time of use tariffs, flexible or dynamic rates, prepaid or postpaid, just any package you fancy.
Just like you can choose a mobile communications company of your chose, a d select a prepaid, contract offer of your likings.
And there are comparative websites to make the choice a bit easier.
Here in SA people only know the cellular network they are using, that they are on prepaid or contract, but haven't the faintest clue what they are actually paying per minute of calls, for SMSs, or data.
sometimes I figure SA is one of the most primitive and backwards countries out there, with a very thin veneer of wealth,
so you have people with Solar systems and Generators and inverters and batteries and all this stuff,
and you have people that suffer immensely when load shedding hits, that rely on little battery powered gizmos for a short time, and Eskom thinks its okay to institute load shedding and stage 6 and wet coal and all the rest of it,
I mean I get it, Africa aint for sissies, but electric supply is something non-negotiable, especially for anything in modern society,
kind of like clean drinking water, these are basic utilities,
and here we have 1 utility doing immeasurable damage to the country, and can basically threaten people without fail, give us increases or else, do X or else,
how is it SA has stood this long with only one utility? and why has nobody pushed for another utility, I mean Telkom was eventually pushed out, and now there are loads,
shouldn't something be done about it, or as usual in the primitive and backwards SA, nobody thinks of that idea.
or they want to complain about other countries ****, while ignoring their own enormous problems
