The association says its members have the potential to supply the electricity needed to prevent future rolling blackouts.
Agricultural industry association Agri SA said on Monday it was concerned about what it called the National Energy Regulator of South Africa’s reluctance to register small-scale embedded generator projects.
The chairperson of Agri SA’s Economics and Trade Centre of Excellence, Nicol Jansen, said: “It is unacceptable that farmers who want to do their part to relieve strain on the grid are not allowed to do so.” “However, by failing to register SSEGs, Nersa is preventing completed SSEG projects to be connected to the grid,” Agri SA said.
The registration process and internal procedure for the registration of SSEGs had been published on Nersa’s website on March 19, with Nersa on March 26 issuing e-mails confirming the reference number and account into which the registration fee should be paid, Agri SA said.
