Cape Town - South Africa’s Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe on Monday, said the government was in the process of gazetting a revised schedule 2 of the Electricity Regulation Act, which will enable self-generation, and facilitate municipal generation options under “Distributed Generation”.
This, according to Mantashe, would help close the energy gap caused by power utility, Eskom's deteriorating plant performance. “Depending on the circumstances, the generation plant may only require registration and not licensing,” he said. Mantashe addressed delegates at the 26th annual African Mining Indaba currently underway at the Cape Town International Convention Centre , from February 3 - 6, under the theme “Optimising Growth and Investment in the Digitised Mining Economy”.
He said that economic growth and sustainability are bolstered in an environment of a secure and reliable electricity supply.
Crap! He was probably holding back on it, so wifey could continue her feeding tender to Medupi!
