There’s an excellent and growing local battery industry, and SA has the minerals
I don’t understand why we can’t act on excellent policy or write policy and regulation that actually creates jobs . Utility-scale batteries are cheap power, or priceless if you have no power
There’s an excellent and growing local battery industry. We have the minerals. We have the best engineers and a competitive manufacturing base. We should apply the 10x or 50x planning principle and/or we should scrap certain regulations. Why were independent IPPs capped at 10MWs, then increased to a 100MWs and then scrapped? Why did this regulation shift take so long?
Batteries are definitely the solution to load-shedding and load-shifting, and are absolutely essential to the energy mix and the possibility of real arbitrage. We need leaders who make decisions. Leadership is a balance between consultation and risk-taking. Our president is 80-20: 80% consultation and 20% risk. A better balance will solve problems faster.
