If only we could bottle politicians hot air and use that ......

You can save a step and just install turbines in buildings where they congregate.

Woot! It's been too long since our last family meeting. Please, please be another family meeting!

Why even bother? You guys have been trying to destroy Eskom for years. Now that things have gone to **** like you knew they would now you want to throw money at it to fix it? Was this the plan all along; to create a crisis and swoop in as the savior? It doesn't make sense. Why do this in the first place? Does not compute.

Friend visiting from Russia kept him busy

It takes time to dig out the $s stashed in furniture. Squirrel can not be expected to keep track of it all.

South Africa’s biggest cities move to mitigate load sheddin

Cape Town, South Africa’s second-biggest city, plans to make its biggest attempt yet to reduce its reliance on the ailing national power utility by holding a tender next month for the provision of as much as 1,000 megawatts of power to the municipality.

The tender will seek so-called dispatchable power, which can be supplied whenever it is needed from anywhere in the country. The move comes as the country endures its worst-ever energy crisis, with Eskom struggling to meet demand and imposing record blackouts.

Cape Town’s plans follow legislation passed in 2020 that allows municipalities to buy electricity from providers other than Eskom.


The City of Johannesburg, meanwhile, is considering establishing an infrastructure fund to finance a R400 million plan to implement measures aimed at mitigating power outages.

The money would be used to fund the recommissioning of emergency power plants, the implementation of a system to regulate high-energy use equipment such as geysers and swimming pool motors, and the implementation of a smart-meter system to limit the amount of electricity distributed to residents’ homes.

The city plans to approach development-finance institutions, private companies and the government to finance the project.

2 Packs of duracell batteries, you can collect at the post office once a month.

Government can afford Duracells?!

 

[Brian_G]

Government can afford Duracells?!

Duracells are over-rated.

 

["D"]

Duracells are over-rated.

Especially in price then ...

 

[Deadmanza]

Announcement:

We are supplying emergency solar packages to all ANC members of parliament as running the country into the ground is a 24/7 job and we want to ensure our membahs have powah.

 

[Grubscrew]

Government can afford Duracells?!

You would be amazed what they can afford with tax payer's money.

 

[Pudding McTwinkle]

Power ships o'clock.

and the implementation of a smart-meter system to limit the amount of electricity distributed to residents’ homes.

This has been predicted - a new way to control that's disguised as a greenie passport coming our way?

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa will address the nation in the coming week about steps the government will take to alleviate the nation’s energy crisis, a governing party official said.

ANC is welcome to STEP aside and Senior Fixifokoli is welcome to STEP off a cliff.
