In keeping with the theme
▪ Yesterday ▪ Today ▪ Tomorrow

Yesterday’s Data
▪ Data was readily available as Eskom is a public entity
▪ Data is not readily available ▪ Think out of the box
Today

Yesterday - Power Generation
▪ Traditional power generation was centralised and largely government owned
▪ Through Solar PV it’s possible to transfers power generation ownership to a distributed market
Today

Yesterday’s Cost of Energy
▪ Energy pricing was approved by Nersa and all users complied to municipal and approved tariffs
▪ Grid Parity was reached for Grid-tied systems - 2014 ▫ Pay back as short as 3 years in certain regions
▪ Grid parity for battery based systems ▫ Possible with certain storage systems
Today

Storage Cost Of Energy
▪ Probably the single largest component responsible for exponential growth locally and globally
▪ What is it? ▪ Why is it relevant? ▪ Where is the COE currently? ▫ Lead Acid ~R1-45 – R15-00/kwh ▫ Li-ion ~R1-30 – R5-00/kwh

Yesterday
▪ Eskom has a number of power stations on the brink of being decommissioned
▪ In SA there are more than ▫ >100 different brands of inverters ▫ >60 brands of Lead Acid batteries ▫ >20 brands of Li-ion batteries ▫ Estimated 5000-10000 contractors involved with PV
Today
Yesterday
▪ The Power Generation sector was structured
