As part of the EG Workshop, municipalities went on a site visit to @CSIR's solar PV power plant. With the new rules allowing municipalities to generate their own electricity, this was an excellent opportunity for municipalities to learn about different technologies #solarenergy

Still waiting for the day a journalist (any journalist) understands the difference btw adding some PV and going off-grid. This doesn't make life any easier or cheaper to go off-grid🤦... Because it's not about going off-grid businesstech.co.za/news/ener…
New energy rules for South Africa will help businesses and households move off Eskom’s grid

1/3 The statements being made in the media that Eskom is asking customers with solar energy to pay more are factually incorrect. All customers will be offered the same tariffs.

We are increasingly unable to see the world through each other’s eyes. Even though you and I have likely never met, there is a basic measure of love we can afford to give each other sight unseen. It may not be very large, but at some level, it is possible. And it can be grown.
