President should sign vital section of energy act into law, says renewable energy group

Green Connection’s strategic lead Liz McDaid says the organisation is pleased that the presidency has taken on the energy crisis.Renewable energy proponent The Green Connection said President Cyril Ramaphosa’s address on dealing with the energy crisis on Monday did not mention his failure to sign into law a section of legislation which provides for the annual publication of an integrated energy plan.was referring to section 6 of the National Energy Act of 2008.

The section states that the plan must deal with issues relating to the supply, transformation, transport, storage and demand for energy in a way that accounts for, among others, security of supply and contribution of supply to socioeconomic development. “We do not need laws to be broken and twisted to solve the energy crisis. We need those existing laws to be implemented and, in particular, if we want energy security in the long term, we need a plan and an integrated energy plan is allowed for in our legislation — it just needs the president to sign it into law,” McDaid said.was a glaring omission and something that Green Connection believed should have formed part of the president’s statement.
