Ramaphosa to address the nation on energy crisis

[Fulcrum29]

Lol, Ramaphosa is taking a dig at the DA.

 

[ponder]

And people thought he was SA's Moses

The only thing he's parting is the taxpayer's butt cheeks!

 

[gelid]

Ok I tried to watch but alas I am too weak to deal with the uselessness

 

[daveza]

Ah, now we must install rooftop solar - so the City Eskom can charge us 1K a month for the privilege.

 

[ActivateD]

I am selling my surplus lets hope CityPower doesn't stuff it up.

A better life for all.

*a better light for all

More entities...

More entities...

New 'brooms' sweep clean...

New 'brooms' sweep clean...

They also create new tenders

Nope, listen properly.

As someone who seemingly cared to listen and wasn’t moaning on the forums by default, care to give a summary for those of us who missed it?

SO started listening carefully but even he's turned it off now

I thought it would be a single new entity, but it is multiple, and it is not only entities, but also a commission, who is paying everyone? He did say that all these institutions will report to the Presidency so good governance is on him.

Only the best

He said it will incentivise us. 1k is the incentive, it could have been 2k...

The best parts I heard was removing the limits and licensing on independant producers, and them finally setting up a propper buy back plan for domestic solar users

I’m interested in giving them my spare power, but only if they don’t expect me to pay for the privilege to do so.

I’m not forking out 15K for a prepaid meter so they can have compliance.

This is what i'm hoping too - They'll obviously pay a fraction of the cost that you buy power at, but that's fine - Ideally you can export enough to cover their 'transmission' fees, without some stupid hard limits
I guess we wait and see what Eskom comes up with WRT the actual regulations

No, I can just correct that it's Zambia who has excess power, not Zimbabwe.
