"Government is considering additional mechanisms to address the rising cost of electricity. These include measures such as helping households and small businesses install solar power and energy-saving devices, supporting households with rechargeable lights, and working with learners to catch up where load shedding interrupts lessons," Ramaphosa said in his weekly newsletter on Monday.
This comes on the back of comments from newly elected ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula who, according to Bloomberg, said at the weekend that"an emergency package will be announced by government." In response, the power utility said that if Eskom did not recover money from consumers, the burden on the taxpayer would increase.The president said in his newsletter on Monday that it was important to"affirm the independence of Nersa and the importance of following the due legal process in setting tariffs".

_Business A bit late now - that’s what happens with a lack of investment and foresight
_Business So they wilp give solar loans and rebates if you agree to pay a levy on the solar power and sell it back to them as well. You will never be allowed to be off the grid and you will pay for the bit you use from them at R100 and they pay you 25c for what you sell to them.
_Business Oh god a plan that will go nowhere. It won’t be worth the paper it’s written on. President Android seriously needs reprogramming so he can at least come up with something more original.
