50/50 - Wave Energy & SA's Energy Future (aired Monday, 17 October 2011)
On Monday night, 50|50 had an insert discussing wave energy technology and its potential to play a role in SA's energy future. The insert overview can be obtained on the 50|50 website:
"With the change in global production of energy imminent then, there’s now money to be made in investing in alternative energy. Wind and Solar energy have the biggest interest from investors. Other options are hydroelectric power – as we’ve seen produced from some of Eskom’s dams in the Drakensburg – tide energy, geothermal energy, photovoltaic energy and waves. So what’s the big fuss? If there are so many sustainable ways of getting energy, why are politicians and energy providers dragging their heels?"

Eskom seeks transition from rebates to contracts to bolster solar-geyser roll-out
"State-owned power utility Eskom has indicated that it favours a transition to a competitive bidding, or contractual, model for the large-scale procurement of low-pressure solar water heaters (SWH) ahead of a continuation of the current rebate scheme, or the deployment of a so-called ‘standard offer’ incentive."
