With increasing costs of electricity and a new tariff system on the way, electricity will cost even more in the future. From later this year, punitive measures will force you to pay 4 – 8 times more for your electricity usage if you don’t get to your targeted saving (mining: 8%; agriculture: 8%; industry: 10%; commercial: 20%; residential: 20%; and government/state owned enterprises: 25%)
With South African Energy Supply Crisis on our doorstep, Eskom has launched its DSM (Demand side management) initiative and aims to influence the time pattern and amount of electricity use by the consumer i.e. commercial, industrial and the largest consumer – residential! Hence, the home-owner will be forced by higher tariffs, especially during peak hours, to adapt and ensure the minimum electricity consumption, also reducing the greenhouse effect. Research has proved that hot water cylinders (Geysers) contribute to between 40 and 60 percent of your electricity bill, when in good condition. Much is wasted on Geysers installed years ago, running with faulty/damaged components and/or leakages, consuming more and more electricity. Geyserwise is supported by Eskom’s DSM. Only you can control your electricity bill.
