Forthcoming legislation on Solar!
Monday, April 26th, 2010In July 2002, Eskom was converted from a statutory body into a public company as Eskom Holdings Limited, in terms of the Eskom Conversion Act, 13 of 2001. The two-tier governance structure of the Electricity Council and the Management Board was replaced by a Board of Directors. Eskom produces approximately 60% of the electricity on the African continent and, in terms of generating capacity, is the TENTH largest power company in the world.
Eskom’s 26 power stations are located in different parts of the country, they use coal, water, kerosene or uranium as their primary energy source and between themtogether keep the lights burning throughout southern Africa. Forthcoming legislation will apparently require all of us to have solar geysers fitted at our residences by 2012.
So why not avoid the rush and start now, South African solar hotwater heating specialist GeyserSmart has just launched a high pressure solar geyser which is the first affordable solar geyser for South Africa www.geysersmart.co.za .
