Bobster. Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I recently had my system registered with City Power in Gauteng. The process is mostly driven by SANS, so I don't think it will vary too much across suppliers. I used Pure Energy Solutions https://www.pureenergysolutions.co.za/products-services-pure-energy-solutions/ Part of the process (certainly for COJ and COCT) is that you must supply a schematic drawing prepared by an engineer. So you are going to pay engineer's rates for that. I opted to appoint Pure Energy to act as my proxy. So I didn't have to go to offices, stand in queues etc. Pure Energy did everything once I'd signed the proxy letter and paid the agreed fee. See here for details of the process from my POV (not the engineer's). I took advantage of a deal negotiated between my installer and Pure Energy, so I can't tell you how much it is likely to cost. Note that whatever they charge you is for their inspection, the drawing and all the admin. If they find any shortcomings on your system then they don't fix anything, they just let you know what needs addressing. In my case that was warning labels on the external box that holds the municipal meter and on the main and sub DBs. They provided those and charged me for them. My process concluded with an inspection by City Power (mostly to check that the system was as described and that safety regulations were met). They required a representative from the installer to be present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Coct is the supplier of your utility grid this is the process to follow: https://www.capetown.gov.za/City-Connect/Apply/Municipal-services/Electricity/apply-for-authorisation-to-install-a-small-scale-embedded-generation-system If Eskom is your utility supplier follow this process: https://www.eskom.co.za/eas/sseg-application-process/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
