Helping your complex slash electricity costs or kiss load-shedding goodbye

Complexes with many residents who don't have the financial means to buy their own solar power equipment can consider a private power purchase agreement (PPA) for lower electricity tariffs or shared load-shedding backup.

Among the independent power producers (IPPs) that have offered these types of PPAs is Solar Africa.
 
I would like if this works in Cape Town. In my complex at least the city delivers the power to each unit and not to the complex as a whole. It was my understanding that it was the preferred model in Cape Town. Which does disqualify our complex.
 
I find the chances of the BCs actually passing on meaningful savings to apartment owners/residents rather slim.

Eh? Body Corporate is the collection of unit owners. By definition all the savings are passed on to the unit owners whether it is via decrease in levy, slower increase in levy, more maintenance etc. They can't keep it to themselves because themselves is the owners.
