It has now been 150 days since the last load shedding and although this is good news for South Africans, it also means startups who offered solar solutions are seeing decreasing demand for their products. However, for others like Wetility and Plentify, it means an opportunity to fix another major problem in SA power-exorbitantly high tariffs and also aid the green energy transition.
