南アフリカ・ヨハネスブルグ市を対象に、屋根置き太陽光発電の普及が市の電力収入や財政、系統管理に与える影響を市の内部資料や業界データから分析した研究。公式記録は設置実態を大幅に過小評価している一方、収入減の主因は技術損失や負荷制限、料金未払いであることを示す。分散型電源が社会正義を損なうという前提を覆し、従量課金から固定網料金への料金改革の必要性を指摘する。
English
Using municipal records and industry data, this study examines rooftop solar PV uptake in Johannesburg and its effects on municipal revenue, finances and grid management. Official records substantially underrepresent installations, while technical losses, load-shedding and non-payment have far greater financial impact than solar PV. The authors argue distributed power does not inherently undermine social justice and call for tariff reform from volumetric sales toward fixed network charges.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
新電力・分散型電源の普及が自治体の料金体系や収入構造をどう変えるかは、日本の電力小売自由化や地域新電力の持続可能性を考える上でも示唆に富む。固定費回収型の料金設計は日本の託送料金・容量市場の議論とも接点がある。
In the global GX context
This paper speaks directly to the global just-transition and distributed-energy debate: how municipal utilities and regulators redesign tariffs as rooftop PV erodes volumetric revenue. It offers empirical grounding for the argument that decentralised generation is compatible with equity, relevant to disclosure and transition-finance discussions on grid adaptation and municipal climate finance.

📄 Abstract（原文）
South Africa’s deepening electricity crisis, marked by persistent load-shedding and escalating tariffs, has accelerated private solar photovoltaic (PV) installations. This rapid transition has raised concerns about municipal revenue erosion, cross-subsidisation and energy inequality. The City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality (CoJ) is at the centre of this transition, and is grappling with the implications for its business model and how private solar PV can be leveraged to support a just energy transition. This paper is written from the perspective of City officials, and examines the extent of rooftop solar PV and its impact on municipal revenue, finances and grid management. The paper draws on municipal records, internal meetings and reports, and an industry dataset. The analysis reveals that official records substantially underrepresent solar PV installations in the CoJ. Despite the concern that private solar PV erodes revenue, this analysis highlights that technical losses, load-shedding, and customer non-payment have a far greater financial impact. This paper challenges the assumption that distributed power undermines social justice, and rather points to the need for tariff reform, away from volumetric sales towards fixed network charges, to stabilise municipal finances. Rather than framing distributed solar PV as inherently threatening to municipal revenue and social justice, the paper shows that these outcomes depend on how municipal business models, tariffs and governance adapt to and leverage off decentralised energy.
