Well done to private sector for responding so promptly to renewables opportunity

摘要

"Government lifted the limit on the generation of nongovernment renewables energy and, in no time at all, the private sector delivered firm plans for mainly clean solar power that is the equivalent of another Koeberg power station. Pleasingly, the taxpayer will not be called upon to pay a single cent towards the praiseworthy projects, some of which are already under construction. In the main, it is the cash-rich mining companies that have come to the fore by taking fixed decisions on the number of megawatts of electricity that will be generated, and the sites where such generation will take place.
