Time of use (TOU) tariffs can shift electricity consumption out of peak periods, thus helping the grid cope with variable renewable energy. [8] [9] A feed-in tariff (FIT) [10] is an energy-supply policy that supports the development of renewable power generation. FITs give financial benefits to renewable power producers.
Eskom operates a number of notable power stations, including Kendal Power Station, and Koeberg nuclear power station in the Western Cape Province, the only nuclear power plant in Africa.
