According to NERSA, Eskom are "suffering" because many of us installed PV panels to augment our electricity supply, especially after the FAKE NEWS story in 2015 about insufficient generating capacity
Now they want to tax households and business who use PV panels
Friend who owns an office park building on Observatory and has covered the entire roof with PV panels, making this building totally off the grid, reckons that this proposed "tax" will cost him about R100k a month, which is not much less than he was paying CT Council for his electricity
His outlay for the PV panels and stuff was R1.8m
There is a petition going around, but I am not sure how much impact it may have
