Unless they can match my current kWh purchase price, I'll never consider feeding back to the grid.

Okay, so baby steps.... but the larger potential contributors are likely to start knocking at their door aren't they, or are there hidden issues there as well?

I think a lot of farmers are waiting in line to get approval but its taking forever to get approval.

Especially since nersa approved up to 100mw can be fed into the grid by private individuals

I would mind them taking a 10-20% cut as long as they dont charge me some stupid monthly fee and make me pay 20k for a stupid smart meter

All of that should be free to us and they should only take pennies from me.

e.g

I buy electricity @ R2.80, I dont mind eskom paying me R2.20 - R2.50 per kw I feed in

Looks a bit tight tonight, but diesel should save the day.

Mydorpie now saying that LS may be implemented from 4pm..

Eskom cautions the public that the generation system remains constrained and Stage 2 loadshedding might be implemented at short notice during the evening peaks this week

Another wasted day listening to Eskom threats...

Might be them winding down the OCTGs as well, as the next hour doesn't look like they were running it? Perhaps they put something into maintenance, perhaps something popped?

Yes, a lot of question marks.
