Na tiona l Stra te g y- Comme nts to Re vise d IRP “A standard offer approach is developed by the Department of Energy in which an agency similar to Eskom’s Single Buyer Office purchases energy from embedded generators at a set price (with a self- correcting mechanism based on uptake) so as to render municipalities indifferent between their Eskom supply and embedded generators and thus support small scale distributed generation”
