Solar-powered Middleton agrees with Biccard - Loadshedding improvement is very real

--:--
Ahead of his keynote to the BizNews Conference in London, GoSolr CEO and co-founder Andrew Middleton shares some unappreciated good news on South Africa’s energy front. With 75MW in rooftop solar of its initial target 500MW already installed, GoSolr is part of a surge in private sector electricity provision. Middleton agrees with money manager John Biccard who reckons the worst of SA’s load-shedding is behind us - a view which has huge implications for JSE-listed stock prices which continue to discount the very worst on this front. He spoke to Alec Hogg of BizNews.
