Drakensberg pumped storage scheme stores 1000MW of on peak capacity that would otherwise be wasted for use in off peak? How many generators is that and at what fuel cost is the equivalent of that o_O
Pumped storage is absolutely the most sensible way for large scale energy storage currently.

Sorry, I can't find where I put it. Will look again tomorrow.
I just had it before :(

It is a separate bill from municipality with Eskom logo on it and everything. Will ask the maid to help me tomorrow.

If you don't mind still sharing this at some point it would be appreciated, enquiring minds want to know :)
