Until the labour dispute is resolved, we won't get out of Stage 4/6 I think...and the trade unions are only responding to Eskom's revised offer on Tuesday. Urrrgghhh.

A little birdie informs me that unions will accept the offer as Eskom agreed to their conditions of service demands. We'll see, but yes feedback is Tue but I'm told by same birdie that workers are back at their posts. At least at two stations that the birdie has the inside track on.

Massive renewable supply versus previous times.

Still unsure why on fck's earth the government doesn't allow people with solar to feed excess energy back to the grid.

Offer to pay 50% of people's solar install upfront in turn for lifetime supply of their excess.

They'd rather watch the economy tank and the country burn! The level of incompetence, apathy and general malaise is dumbfounding. Just no f ucking inclination to take their fingers out the a$$es and put in a proper shift!

They do iirc there was an article on this, it's just expensive since you need to pay (monthly??) to sign up for some special meter that allows feedback and then your actual feedback compensation is so dismally low that in most cases you make a loss with feeding back instead of just not doing anything.

and you can't be a net producer, only a net consumer.
 
Feed-in price must always go up by at least the same as the grid connection levy and feed out price. And scrap the dumb higher tariff for solar houses. What utterly dumb rules set by the DA.

No they do not. Whatever you think they offer isn't worth mentioning.

Gov needs to pay people, no people are never going to register their installation for R5k willingly and then pay you r400 per month to sell you back units at 0.40 cents up to what you use from the grid, people with solar don't use from the grid, it's a hilariously stupid idea that sums up SA's 30% pass rate.

The ANC government are morons.

The correct way is to give people 50% rebate upfront and then take their excess energy OR let them install solar and then pay them for excess production what you pay Eskom to produce.
 
if we want to look at logic..

A few weeks ago many in this thread were convinced that power consumption is worse on the weekend when all are home due to businesses believed to have largely adopted solar arrays by now.
Now we're expected to believe the opposite, that the next two days are predicted worse enough, post-weekend, to justify stage 6 etc. levels again!

We are being manipulated, this is further political opportunism. Smell the farm people.

I'd say consumption is highest in the week in the evening, because everyone start their dinners and stuff after getting home from work. On weekends the same power is in use, but the times differ much more between people so spreading out the peak into a longer but lower peak. Not to mention some go camping and stuff also removing power usage on a weekend.

I didn't make the rules, go complain to the anc and the da about their implementation.
