Frank is in a FIT of ecstacy!

It has been a long time since I last posted. But, as my blog has been entitled, I feel a FIT of Renewed Energy.

The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) has seen FIT. Fit to release their FIT, or Feed-In-Tariffs for South Africa.

Here is the low down:

Technology Unit REFIT
Wind R/kWh 1.25
Small hydro R/kWh 0.94
Landfill gas R/kWh 0.90
Concentrated solar R/kWh 2.10

( 1.00 R (or ZAR) = 0.10 USD )

This is AWESOME! I think we are, at last, on the verge of seeing large wind farms, concentrated solar systems, and more!

Watch this space.... And if anyone would like me to help build their wind farm...
