Question No 1137
Mr W Greyling (ID) to ask the Minister of Energy:
Whether she intends changing Eskom's subsidy policy in order to speed up the roll-out of solar water heaters; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
Yes. The subsidy policy will be centralised and applied under a standard offer for solar water heating. In terms of this policy, consumers will be offered an incentive (called the standard offer) in respect of every kWh of electricity displaced through the introduction of solar water heaters. The incentive will be funded from the electricity tariff, at a level that is lower than the marginal cost of funding a new coal-fired power station.
