Solidarity to unveil guides to reduce reliance on Eskom
A new self-help guide on reducing reliance on State-owned Eskom’s national electricity grid would be published by trade union Solidarity on Friday, with an emergency plan for prolonged load-shedding to be launched on Saturday.
The union planned to shed some light on how households could become less Eskom-dependent and how consumers could survive a multiple-week power outage.
Amid increasingly expensive and unreliable electricity supply, the trade union, along with KragDag Expo, would present the concept and outline possible solutions for the implementation of self-reliant electricity, Solidarity Research Institute head Piet le Roux said in a statement.
Further, with several provincial and metropolitan authorities allegedly preparing for the “eventuality of prolonged periods of load-shedding”, the emergency plan for households, compiled in partnership with Maroela Media and KragDag, would highlight the actions households could take to withstand two weeks without power.
The guides would be launched at the KragDag Expo, being held near Pretoria, on Friday and Saturday.
