To estimate the revenue generated from 248 GWh of electricity in South Africa, we need to consider the average electricity price. As of recent data, the average electricity price for industrial consumers in South Africa is around R1.30 to R1.50 per kWh. For residential consumers, it could be higher, but we’ll use the industrial rate for this estimation.
Let’s use R1.40 per kWh as an average price:
Calculation:
• 248 GWh = 248,000,000 kWh (since 1 GWh = 1,000,000 kWh)
• Revenue = 248,000,000 kWh × R1.40 per kWh
So the revenue would be:
• 248,000,000 × 1.40 = R347,200,000
Therefore, the estimated revenue for 248 GWh of electricity annually would be approximately R347.2 million
