JOHANNESBURG - There's been widespread reaction to President Cyril Ramaphosa's announcement of government's grand plan to save embattled Eskom and improve the country's electricity crisis.
Interventions include Eskom now purchasing additional energy from existing private generators such as mines, paper mills, shopping centres and other private entities that have surplus power. Cosatu's Sizwe Pamla said: “A commitment is just that; it doesn’t really fix anything as to when we see an improvement on the ground and progress when it comes to implementation, that is when we will really be able to assess.”
“But it has been predominantly, regulatory and procurement hurdles have slowed down the sector but the fact that these hurdles are being reduced and government is promoting a further renewable option, I think solar is going to become the way forward from having been something that has been looked down on the past.”
