No ANC MEMBA or voter will get anything to ruin their SABC soapies in the evening!
Why don't they enforce businesses from turning off their lights or leave it to minimum, why have car showrooms fully lit, or empty offices with lights burning? Remember residents use 20% of the power so out of the 29k residents are using 6k
It's also for security. Ne'er-do-wells just love dark places.
Why don't they enforce peak and off peak energy rates and feed in tariffs and let the businesses make up their own minds and leave businesses alone that pay for it? Anyway, it's not like lighting is a big energy guzzler, it accounts for about 5% of my usage.
Understandable, but outside lights, motion sensored? Or other things, having your bright showroom using more power then 10 houses is not helping.
Their lighting would be, I mean they look like they aren't energy efficient lights. Remember back in the day lighting was a big consumer.
Back in the day. How many times has business had to tighten their belts since 2007?
Most of the commercial and industrial customers are on Time of Use & seasonal tariffs already.
Ok, and what about us plebs as that is who I was referring to with the rest of the world?
Still in the planning stage.
Generally they do that by canning people first
So what you're saying is that I have to go live in America or the UK or Australia or Norway or somewhere like that?
Ok, but they did that in 2007. That was 16 years ago. Do they have any people left?
Nah just light bulbs now... Next to go
Been happening since 2007.
