But what has been good for Shoprite, which now has around 43 MW of peak capacity at its disposal and is looking at battery storage, constitutes a problem for state power utility Eskom.
The state-owned power utility said on Monday it made profit after tax of 30.3 billion rand ($1.9 billion) in the year ended March, compared with a restated 14.0 billion rand a year earlier, which was its first annual profit in eight years.
So approximately 1,863,555,212.93 in USD. Cry me a river.
