Most of South Africa's electricity is supplied by a private company called ESKOM. Go check out their website. If you want to know more about electricity production in South Africa you can also go to the countries Department of Mineral and Energy Affairs website. Do a yahoo search for them to find their exact addresses.

I worked with people from Nairobi before and learned that the power goes out there on a regular basis, sometimes for days. Maybe thats why.

You want us to write your management essay for you? Are you serious? OK fine, here is my critical analysis:\n\n"Privatization is bad. The whole thing was a mistake. What's a PSU?"\n\nHand that in. I promise you an A+.

By law, electric power companies are given monopoly control.  By its very nature, electric service is not something you can casually 'change' like you would your long-distance provider.  So unless you exit the public grid completely, you're stuck with Alleghany Power.

A Captive Power Plant (CPP) supplies some or all of the electric power need by an industrial plant to avoid loss during blackouts and to provide a better price structure for electrical needs than a SEB (State Electric Board) grid.  Steel and cement makers are apt to rely on CPP's.

This country has many laws, which don't encompass family-owned businesses, because of the unique nature of that situation.  There are international efforts by the UN, Peace Corps and Apartheid Now. You need to run a google search or be a little more specific.

I remember that they have stored oil in disused mines. This may have been in South Africa during the apartheid years, but I am not sure.\n\nI found a link that references this: http://www.mbendi.co.za/indy/oilg/af/sa/p0010.htm\n\nThe premier engineering faculties in South Africa are the University of the Witwatersrand and University of Pretoria. \n\nTheir civil/mining engineering faculties would likely be able to help you.

Since the Thachter Government of 1979 onwwards most things are privatised. The only remaining State owned companies are: \n\nBritish Nuclear Fuel \nThe Post Office\nThe Police \nThe Prision service (although a number of the prisions are privately owned) \nThe BBC \nThe Schools, Colleges and Universties \nThe Health service \n\nChannel 4 and associted chanels (but ran independently)\n\n\nEven with these a number of services like cleaning, catering, repair and mainteance is carried out by private contractors\n \nEverything you list in your question is privately owned.

We don't mean in a physics sense that we are getting something for nothing. But in an economic sense, anything that you get to use something without paying for it, I call that free. That is what we mean any time we use the term "free electricity". We are willing to give you up to 26,000 kW (kilowatts) of electricity for free because we are making our money by selling the power that you don't use back through the grid. So we have a profit motive. We will be independent power producers selling our electricity over the grid.

La electricidad puede ser creada de distintas maneras ya que la energía se transforma. Para obtener energía eléctrica en una planta de energía generalmente se utiliza el calor (queman combustible) u obtienen energía del viento o el agua (casacadas o molinos de viento)\nLa energía eléctrica es simplemente la fricción que existe entre los electrones (Cargas negativas en un átomo) al pasar por un cable de cobre, así que la energía que obtienen del calor o del movimiento (viento y agua) en las centrales eléctricas, es obligado a pasar por un cable que crea la energía eléctrica

I don't know, but if you find one, let me know so I can move there.  I wish to integrate all of these into my new home but the cost is unbelievable.  The wind turbines will cost 20k and the solar panels around 30k.  I haven't even begun to look into the waste system yet.  Electric companies only buy and sell electricity and service the delivery equipment.  Look at the logo on the sides of their trucks...they are all the same logo, just a different name.  What a wonderful world.  haha

Nothing is free.  Converting the entire energy grid to alternative fuel sources would be expensive and in some cases would require that enormous batteries be constructed to store power and distribute it during times when the alterate resource is not available (i.e when the sun stops shining on a solar power field).  We've also become accustomed to consuming a great deal of electricity and the ammount of solar, wind and other plants needed would be enormous (I'm not saying it's not well worth the effort, but studies show it won't be as quick or clean as some would lead you to believe).
