CPI vs ESKOM, a loosing battle (an electricity emergency)
How do you mitigate a 400% increase in tariff vs 46,5% CP increase over the same period?
The current & future outlook of Eskom, as with many African utilities remains bleak with regular electricity outages, electricity faults and with double digit annual increases likely for several years to come.

Not all technologies are equal, question of over and/or reinvestment
The energy mix is the core driver in avoiding a high Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCoE) as opposed to stand alone technologies. ESSA™ remains technology agnostic in the Energy Modelling and Planning™ process.
14 important questions you should be asking!
