Die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit het verlede week die eerste tree geneem om onafhanklik van Eskom sake te doen met die bekendstelling van sy projekte om munisipale geboue van sonkrag te voorsien. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kern- munisipale geboue in die Eikestad word tans met sonpanele toegerus, wat di\u00e9 geboue minder afhanklik van Eskom se wankele kragvoorsieningsvermo\u00eb maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hiermee word die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit een van die eerste munisipaliteite in die land wat van Eskom af begin wegbeweeg het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar watter stappe het die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit, wat \u2019n baie groter munisipaliteit as di\u00e9 van Stellenbosch is, al ingestel om onafhanklik van Eskom te word?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marius W\u00fcst, die direkteur van ingenieursdienste van die Drakenstein- munisipaliteit, s\u00ea die DM het reeds begin met \u2019n poging om voldoende hernubare energie op te wek om veerkragtig ten opsigte van Eskom-beurtkrag te wees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea ook die munisipaliteit wil nie heeltemal weg van die Eskom-rooster beweeg nie, maar wil verseker dat plaaslike verbruikers, sakeondernemings en besoekers ononderbroke kragtoevoer geniet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVir die hele Drakenstein-gebied om \u2019n voortdurende toevoer van elektrisiteit te ontvang \u2013 24 uur per dag; elke dag \u2013 het ons deurlopend \u2019n maksimum toevoer van 185 MVA (of megawatt) per maand nodig. Wanneer Eskom beurtkrag toepas, verloor ons sowat 20% van hierdie toevoer. Dit beteken dat ons alternatiewe energiehulpbron(ne) nodig het om ons van minstens 40 MVA (of megawatt) per maand, deurlopend, te voorsien.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
W\u00fcst s\u00ea die munisipaliteit werk saam met die Wes-Kaapse regering om \u2019n bekostigbare kombinasie van hernubare energie-hulpbronne, soos sonkrag en windkrag sowel as alternatiewe opsies, soos gas pleks van elektrisiteit, te ondersoek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit is ook een van ses Wes-Kaapse munisipaliteite wat gekies is om aan \u2019n provinsiale munisipale energie-veerkragtigheid-baanbrekersprojek deel te neem. Die munisipaliteit het gepaste projekte in die Drakenstein-gebied ge\u00efdentifiseer, wat reeds deur die provinsiale projek se vooraflewensvatbaarheidsproses ge\u00ebvalueer is. \u2019n Paar van hierdie projekte is as beginprojekte gekies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
W\u00fcst het bygevoeg die munisipaliteit het ook \u2019n beleid wat die opsie aan verbruikers bied om aan selfopwekking deel te neem, met die opsie om oortollige opwekking aan die munisipaliteit terug te lewer teen \u2019n krediet wat gelykstaande is aan die laagste tarief waarteen die munisipaliteit dit kan aankoop. D\u00edt is tans R0.6113\/kwh..<\/span> Drakenstein Municipality is slowly but surely putting plans in place to become less dependant upon Eskom power supply.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit het verlede week die eerste tree geneem om onafhanklik van Eskom sake te doen met die bekendstelling van
