Die Nasionale Energiereguleerder (Nersa) het onlangs laat hoor dat hy slegs \u2019n tariefverhoging van 9,61% aan Eskom goedkeur \u2013 nie die 20,5% wat Eskom wou h\u00ea nie \u2013 maar selfs di\u00e9 goedkeuring gaan \u2019n groot gat in verbruikers se sakke brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 verhoging sal reeds op 1 April in werking tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Munisipaliteite gaan dan op hul beurt hul voorgestelde tariefverhogings, wat van 1 Julie af in werking tree en \u2019n gewone verbruiker se sak gaan raak, aan Nersa deurgee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Marius W\u00fcst, direkteur van ingenieursdienste by die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit, is die munisipaliteit verheug oor die verlaagde goedkeuring aan Eskom, alhoewel hy nog geen aanduiding het oor wat die riglyne en aanbevelings ten opsigte van munisipale toegelate verhogings sal wees nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie munisipaliteit gebruik eerstens die aanbevole riglyne van Nersa as basis, dan word die \u2018koste van voorsiening\u2019 se aanbevelings daarop gegrond om seker te maak dat die koste per verbruikersgroep en per tarief meer in pas is met die werklike koste. Hierdie voorgestelde tariewe word dan, met motivering, aan Nersa gestuur vir goedkeuring voordat dit toegepas kan word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
W\u00fcst verduidelik die Eskom-verhoging is nie net op energieverbruik van toepassing nie, maar ook op alle vaste asook oorhoofse kostes, en daarom sal dit ook so na die beskikbaarheidstarief deurgetrek word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWat alternatiewe opwekkingsmoontlikhede betref, is verskillende prosesse reeds in \u2019n gevorderde stadium om die lewensvatbaarheid, asook die bekostigbaarheid daarvan, te ondersoek.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea die munisipaliteit het begin met \u2019n poging om voldoende hernubare energie op te wek om veerkragtig ten opsigte van Eskom-beurtkrag te wees, maar die munisipaliteit wil nie heeltemal van die Eskom-rooster af wegbeweeg nie en wil verseker dat hul verbruikers \u2013 inwoners, sakeondernemings en besoekers \u2013 ononderbroke kragtoevoer geniet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVir die hele Drakenstein-gebied om \u2019n voortdurende toevoer van elektrisiteit te ontvang (24\/7), het die gebied deurlopend tot 185 MVA (megawatt) per maand nodig. Wanneer Eskom beurtkrag toepas, verloor ons sowat 20% hiervan. Dit beteken ons het alternatiewe energiehulpbron(ne) nodig om ons van minstens 40 MVA (megawatt) per maand \u2013 deurlopend \u2013 te voorsien.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit ondersoek in samewerking met die Wes-Kaapse regering \u2019n bekostigbare kombinasie hernubare-energie-hulpbronne soos sonkrag en windkrag sowel as alternatiewe opsies, soos om gas pleks van elektrisiteit te gebruik. <\/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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie munisipaliteit het gepaste projekte in die Drakenstein-gebied ge\u00efdentifiseer, wat reeds deur die provinsiale projek se vooraf-lewensvatbaarheidsproses ge\u00ebvalueer is. \u2019n Paar van hierdie projekte is as loodsprojekte gekies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lede van die gemeenskap wat hul elektrisiteitsrekeninge so laag as moontlik wil hou, word aangemoedig om te bepaal of hul gemiddelde maandelikse elektrisiteitsverbruik in pas is met die grootte van hul wonings se aansluitings (amp\u00e8re). Indien lae verbruik \u2019n afgradering na \u2019n laer amp\u00e8re\/aansluiting regverdig, kan dit \u2019n koste-besparing teweegbring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
