Baie plaaslike inwoners en ondernemings kla oor die verwoestende gevolge van Eskom se beurtkrag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Munisipaliteite word egter net so erg geraak en gaan tiene miljoene aan inkomste verloor as die huidige beurtkragskedules voortduur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die verkoop van Eskomkrag is by die meeste munisipaliteite in Suid-Afrika hul grootste enkele inkomste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Munisipaliteite moet ook, soos die meeste ander instansies, van noodrugsteun\u00adkragopwekkers gebruik maak, wat bedryfsuitgawes laat eskaleer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Om verder by te dra tot die munisipaliteit se finansi\u00eble uitdaging, het baie verbruikers die afgelope jaar sonkragstelsels by hul ondernemings of huise in reaksie op die elektrisiteitsonderbrekings aangebring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit beteken dat energie nie uit die netwerk ontgin word nie, maar uit hernubare hulpbronne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel dit uitstekende nuus vir die omgewing is, beteken dit minder elektrisiteit uit die netwerk word deur inwoners verbruik, wat dus tot minder wins vir die munisipaliteit sal lei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dan is daar nog bykomende verswarende omstandighede, soos al meer uitstaande skuld deur die publiek, asook krag wat gesteel word deur middel van onwettige verbindings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By navraag oor kragverliese weens beurtkrag en die feit dat al meer mense hul eie krag opwek deur sonkrag en dies meer, wou die munisipaliteit nie \u2019n verlies-beraming gee nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bradley Brown, finansi\u00eble hoof van die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit, het wel ges\u00ea met die munisipaliteit se 2023\/\u201924-begroting word die inkomste uit kragverkope op 50,5% van die algehele inkomstebegroting van die munisipaliteit geraam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie werklike bydrae van die elektrisiteitsdiens tot die munisipaliteit se inkomste moet gesien word as die netto van die begrote inkomste en die grootmaataankope, wat 14,4% is,\u201d s\u00ea Brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWanneer verbruikers in alternatiewe energie bel\u00ea, is die impak op die munisipaliteit dus nie net aan die inkomstekant nie, maar verteenwoordig dit ook \u2019n vermindering in die grootmaataankope van die munisipaliteit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOm die impak van \u2019n migrasie na alternatiewe energie te bepaal, is dus nie \u2019n eenvoudige oefening nie en vereis dat \u2019n mens na al twee hierdie bydraende faktore moet kyk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie impak van beurtkrag het ook \u2019n ander faset tot hierdie vergelyking gebring, met munisipaliteite wat nie kan vasstel of afnames in inkomste direk toeskryfbaar is aan \u2019n migrasie na alternatiewe energie of die impak van beurtkrag nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie ware impak van verbruikers wat van die netwerk af gaan, sal eers behoorlik gesien word sodra stabiliteit in die nasionale elektrisiteitsnetwerk terugkeer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oor die vraag oor watter verwikkelinge by die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit is met betrekking tot alternatiewe kragbronne vir die vallei, het Brown ges\u00ea alternatiewe energie is deel van die munisipaliteit se beurtkrag-weerbaarheidsplan, en hulle ondersoek maniere om alternatiewe energie aan te koop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie munisipaliteit is reeds in gesprek met verskeie onafhanklike kragprodusente oor hierdie aangeleentheid. Behalwe om die tegniese struikelblokke te oorkom om te verseker dat alle munisipale inwoners uit moontlike oplossings voordeel sal trek, vereis elke voorstel ook \u2019n gedetailleerde finansieringsmodel en kostevoordeel-analise en is dit ook onderhewig aan sekere wetgewende prosedures en goedkeuring deur die raad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brown het voorts ges\u00ea die bogenoemde reaksie is baie konserwatief, aangesien die munisipaliteit huiwerig is om syfers op \u2019n openbare domein aan te haal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
