The Imperative Search for Alternative Energy Solutions
South Africans have recently been informed to brace and expect another 5 years of experiencing an electricity deficit (Eskom, 2021).
Whilst the largest public electricity utility in South Africa, Eskom, continues to implement a backlog of maintenance on ageing infrastructure, one can only wonder whether the existing 4 000 MW electrical deficit will worsen or not, as the South African economy attempts to bounce back and revive itself, with additional demands such as electric vehicle charging loads being added to the grid (Eskom, 2021).

The utility costs of commercial property have increased exponentially since 2008. As a result, property fund owners are exploring alternative energy source options such as solar power, wind energy and natural gas, to ensure property sustainability and tenant rental growth.
Ironically, adoption of the above-mentioned alternative energy solutions result in reducing the demand of kilowatt per hour sales for public utilities, directly restricting sales for the public utility.
