Thank you! I look forward to reading your intro!
The City of Cape Town is looking into buying renewable energy independently of Eskom. I believe their first request for proposals involves trying to use land close enough to the city such that they don't have to use the Eskom network at all (the city owns some of the network in Cape Town), which will probably mean small solar plants at first.
Perhaps later they will also buy from larger renewable energy facilities further away and then pay Eskom a small fee (wheeling tariff) to get the energy to Cape Town. Let's watch this space!
