South Africa’s Eskom Streamlines Solar Registration, Cuts Fees to Boost Clean Energy Adoption
South African power utility Eskom has overhauled its registration process for residential solar systems, removing connection fees and expanding certification options. The changes aim to make grid compliance more accessible while maintaining safety standards for embedded generation.
Streamlined Registration Process
South Africa’s state-owned power utility Eskom has significantly simplified the compliance and registration requirements for customers operating small-scale embedded generation (SSEG) systems, according to company reports. Sources indicate the changes will particularly benefit households and small businesses using rooftop solar panels, making legal grid connection more accessible.
Iran Accelerates Solar Power Expansion Amid Deepening Energy Crisis
Iran is rapidly expanding solar energy projects to combat persistent electricity shortages exacerbated by aging infrastructure and international sanctions. The country aims to increase renewable capacity to 12GW within three years despite economic challenges.
Solar Push Amid Energy Shortfalls
Iran is reportedly accelerating solar energy development to address severe electricity shortages that have prompted renewed rolling blackouts this year, according to energy officials. The country faces this energy crisis despite possessing the world’s third-largest oil reserves and second-largest natural gas reserves, with analysts suggesting crumbling infrastructure and prolonged US sanctions have crippled its energy sector.
