Citizens will be able to sell electricity to Swaziland Electricity Company

16 July 2012 – The Times of Swaziland reports that people in Swaziland will be able to generate electricity and sell it to the Swaziland Electricity Company (SEC).

Lindiwe Ntshangase, senior energy officer at the Swaziland’s ministry of natural resources and Energy (MNRE) says, "SEC is no longer a monopoly so individuals can produce their own electricity and sell it to the grid. If, for example, you are generating solar energy for use in your household or business, you will be able to sell the excess to SEC.”

According to Peterson Dlamini from the MNRE, the ministry is working on a feed-in tariff framework which will stipulate how the electricity will be sold and managed.
