Die landboubedryf kan eenvoudig nie dubbelsyfer-verhogings in kragpryse bekostig nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Eskom se tariewe met 20,5% styg, sal dit die voortbestaan van talle landbou-ondernemings bedreig. Die landbou vra vir \u2019n verhoging van nader aan 7%, het Jannie Strydom, uitvoerende hoof van Agri Wes-Kaap, Woensdag ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die landbou het nie dieselfde luukse as Eskom, wat \u2019n aansuiweringsmeganisme (die RCA-proses) het waardeur verlore inkomste van vorige boekjare verhaal kan word nie, het Strydom verduidelik. Die landbou is \u2019n prysnemer, wat maar net die pryse wat aan hom deurgegee word, moet absorbeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kragtariewe het reeds verlede jaar met 15% tot 17% gestyg, kunsmispryse gaan vanjaar na verwagting met tussen 32% en 69% styg en verlede jaar is die minimum lone in die landbou met 16,1% verhoog. Daarby het dieselpryse in tien van die afgelope 12 maande met tussen 17% en 46% gestyg, het Strydom in die openbare sitting, wat die Nasionale Energiereguleerder (Nersa) oor Eskom se jongste tariefaansoek hou, ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die algehele energiekoste beloop 2,8% van die landbousektor se insetkoste, of meer as R9 miljard per jaar, maar die insetkoste van net elektrisiteit kan tussen 10% en 20% van sekere landbousektore se algehele koste bedra, waarsku Strydom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNersa behoort die rol te vervul om munisipaliteite se wanbetaling van hul kragrekening bloot te stel,\u201d het Strydom bygevoeg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit lyk of Eskom in di\u00e9 opsig \u2019n eensame stryd voer, en ek weet nie hoekom Nersa nie meer hiermee help nie \u2013 almal moet hul verpligtinge nakom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ghaleb Cachalia, DA-woordvoerder oor openbare ondernemings, het Woensdag in \u2019n afsonderlike verklaring aangevoer kragtariewe moet volgens verbruikersprysinflasie en huishoudings se inkomste bepaal word, eerder as om Eskom se \u201condoeltreffendheid en wanprestasie\u201d te beloon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het ook gewaarsku dat Suid-Afrikaners nie die 20,5%-verhoging, wat Eskom vereis, kan bekostig nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Eskom oor steenkool<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eskom se ouer wordende steenkoolkragstasies het steenkool van beter gehalte nodig om doeltreffend te kan werk, maar steenkool van beter gehalte is duurder, het Snehal Nagar, finansi\u00eble bestuurder vir prim\u00eare energie by Eskom, Woensdag ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eskom ding volgens hom mee met lande in Asi\u00eb wat steenkool van Suid-Afrika invoer. Verder ontwrig groeiende hernieubare energie Eskom se sakemodel, tesame met \u2019n gebrek aan nuwe beleggings in nuwe steenkoolmyne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die ideaal vir Eskom is as hy steenkoolmyne het wat steenkool per vervoerband na sy kragstasies kan vervoer eerder as per spoor of padlangs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eskom verwag dat hy tot 2050 tussen 650 miljoen ton en 850 miljoen ton ekstra steenkool sal nodig h\u00ea, aldus Nagar. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
