The New Energy Landscape in South Africa
As innovative energy usage solutions increase, the need for better utility data management has been identified. Global businesses and individuals alike, can benefit from systems and technology that successfully manage their data usage and safe storage.
Data helps you understand and improve business processes so you can reduce wasted money and time (Grow, 2020).
Utilities such as electricity, heat, air conditioning, hot water, gas, and sewerage all contain data, which needs to be collected, processed, and re-delivered using methods allowing information to be tracked and observed over time to improve energy consumption and consequently bill energy clients more accurately and efficiently.
The need for bigger data collections, better data processing and faster data delivery is at an all-time high for households and businesses (TechTarget, 2019).
Data that is turned into management information, yields behavioral change, efficiency and renewable investment which subsequently drives sustainability and improved economic ecosystems.
Incorrect data and pricing signals create false renewable energy sectors that exacerbate grid instability that chase operating costs and pricing (Christo Myburgh, 2021).
Eskom in South Africa presented structural changes to their tariffs for consideration and approval by NERSA; the Energy Regulator commencing 1 April 2021. This will correct the pricing signals to a more sustainable renewable integration with the power grid, while reshaping the electricity reseller industry. The South African electricity industry including generation, transmission, and distribution is about to enter a new era.
U Tech Dynamix remains committed to serving South African property owners and tenants, who are all encouraged to adapt through the reseller model to innovate key markets for an improved energy sector and electrical ecosystem.
