(www.abndigital.com) South Africa depends on coal for 88% of its electricity needs, and because it is an internationally traded commodity, coal imposes a price risk on taxpayers. But experts believe the country could accelerate its energy programme and other deliverable if South Africa adopted a wind power programme. Joining us on the need to put wind in the sails of South Africa’s energy programme is Dr Eddie O’Connor, CEO of Mainstream Renewable Power.
Who am I ?
Hi, I’m Erik Astrand and the man behind this site.
My story? I am about to be 50 and all my life I have been interested in technical things. Not sure if the special interest for the wind, and how to use the wind, started when I as a 5 year old boy and got my first sail dinghy.
Anyway, wind power and to build my own wind generator was a dream for several years. I studied many websites and also bought many courses before I finally built my own windmill. This site is about that journey and you will also find some more general articles about wind power.
Enjoy! and check out the about me page to read more.
