Anyone else worried about their skyrocketing electricity bill? 👀
In the first ten years of our democracy SA had some of the world’s lowest electricity rates. Things changed from about 2008: Some estimates suggest that tariffs increased on average more than five-fold in real money terms in 14 years.😭
Various local and global factors mean that things are only getting worse. We just learned this week that energy regulator Nersa is proposing an average increase of 7.47% in municipal tariffs for 2022.
That’s why we love the courses offered by Urban Earth. We sometimes don’t even want to LOOK at our rates bill, so it really helps getting an expert to do it with you to see where savings can be made.
We’re always on the lookout for cool companies we can partner with who are doing good things for the earth and our country, and Urban Earth ticks all those boxes. They’re running a course for those looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle on 11 May 2022. Starting with the basics – something we’re quite partial to here at explain.co.za – they help you choose the best course of action to both reduce your carbon footprint and potentially save money on household electricity bills.
We attended their “Saving Energy In The Home” course before recommending it, and loved how technical concepts were simply broken down, individual questions were attended to, and easy tips explained. It’s just R295 for a two-hour live course with one of the company’s founders, who has been in the environmental consulting game for over a decade. Plus you get a further R50 off as an explain subscriber. Just use the code “explain” at check out.
