Ramaphosa to address the nation on energy crisis

[Mike Hoxbig]

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.

If net production is not allowed, then I'm only willing to do so for a minimum of 1:1 in credits...

All this talk about social compacts. I touched on it in another thread, but do people actually know what a social contract is in political speak?

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

All just yap yap until it's in black and white.

We have heard all these things before.

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

Yeah I don’t even mind giving it away for free quite honestly, as long as it doesn’t cost me anything.

I believe it’s something like 70c which is equal to their cost price or some such.

Who got the rooftop solar-panel tender ?

Patrice would be my guess.

So wait till September October then.

So wait till September October then.

That is when the committee might meet for the first time..

No, don't settle for mediocrity. Either 1:1 in credits, or if it needs to be at their cost price, then remove the limit on net production...

Not one time frame given.

I don’t think 1:1 will ever be a reality because then they aren’t winning anything on generation.

Didn’t realise there was a cap, is it a Gauteng thing or Eskom direct thing?

 

[Fulcrum29]

2023? 2024? Forewarned, though emphasis is placed on bringing in private generation, the multiple entities once established will serve to centralise all these mechanisms under the state. Not only will they compete, but they will also cannibalise, or so I expect in the time to come.

Hints that the state wants private businesses to become state cooperatives are starting to show. NHI is the biggest step in this direction.

 

[Priapus]

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

I’m waiting to see how they do this. I’ll upgrade to sell to grid. Been waiting to upgrade anyway.

I think they will argue that a 1pm summers day kwh does not equal a 6pm winters day kwh.

Hmm...Chris Yelland seems impressed...gives me pause for thought that it all wasn't a waste of time...

Church of yelland... expect 50 articles by the devout.

That's a reasonable argument. Then they should install bidirectional meters at their cost and pay a reasonable time of day fee. I'm willing to let the limit slide if you can at least earn back your usage in credits...

He'll be complaining next week when there is zero action...

Cyril is full of plans and promises but zero concrete dates and actions.
