Supporting the South African utility #ESKOM with US$ billions to boost the #JustEnergyTransition #JETP seems somewhat adventurous, given recent reports on corruption, copper theft and cyanide in the CEO:s coffee.

Tax incentives for households to install #RooftopPV and thereby reduce their exposure to extensive #LoadShedding could be less risky and better value for money.

In November in Western Australia, solar and wind power had higher #capacityFactor than coal and gas. Coal CF was less than 20% so even #RooftopPV was higher. Reasons were high PV penetration and coal shortages.
#BaseloadPV 😀

@jt_ishie I agree. Most power utilities in Africa operate at a loss, lose money with every kWh they sell. Only Seychelles and Uganda appear to have #CostReflectiveTariff. I expect plenty of #GridDefection as soon as hybrid #rooftopPV +battery are sold in large quantities, prices should now be below 10.000$ for 10kW&10kWh systems
