Tshwane energy crisis: All talk and no action

Plans by the City of Tshwane to rid its residents of load shedding by 2026 is a good idea. But at the moment, it seems to be all talk and no action.

“We must do the necessary now for an energy-secure future for our metro. One of the key drivers for economic growth is a reliable supply of affordable and clean energy. “The city is committed to energy independence. We have a mayoral energy task team that’s driving our agenda of energy independence by overseeing the leasing out of our power stations to the private sector and engaging independent power producers for expertise and guidance on generating alternative green energy.”An economist, Dawie Roodt, said the city’s plans to power up its grid was not only good for its economy, but also a good example as the country’s capital.

But energy expert Chris Yelland said there was still a long way to go for the power stations Tshwane was bargaining on to deliver anything, if at all, or ever.
