After President Cyril Ramaphosa announced his big energy plan, reaction from energy economists and unions believe that none of this is new and that most of these plans lack detail

Ramaphosa seeks to increase private sector investment to accelerate new generation capacity and transform the energy sector, all while fixing Eskom. He has backed the current management at Eskom, despite the calls of some for the executive and board to be fired.The president said the country faced an electricity shortage of up to 6 000MW.

• Eskom’s purchase of additional power from neighbouring countries in Southern Africa, such as Botswana and Zambia, through the Southern African Power Pool arrangement; Secondly, Ramaphosa said his administration would accelerate the procurement of new generation capacity from renewables, gas and battery storage. His plan for renewables includes:

• Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe will issue a determination for the remaining allocations in the Integrated Resource Plan 2019 and will open further bid windows on an expedited basis; and • Expanding Eskom’s power lines and substations without needing to get environmental authorisation in areas of low and medium sensitivity and within the strategic electricity corridors; and

He also announced that a national energy crisis committee chaired by Phindile Baleni, the director-general in the presidency had been formed and would bring together all the departments and entities involved in the provision of electricity to ensure that these measures were implemented in a coordinated manner.

Criminals what to steal Eskom

Ramaphosa is very confused 😕 m telling you

This guy is not okay

This neoliberal economic heist will not work. Sign away what you will, it can and will all be reserved, you capitalist swine.

I have always hated Bitcoin and thought it was a scam until a friend referred me to Allison_Grillo, I made my first withdrawal of R100,000 in 2 weeks thanks to Allison_Grillo.

He just wants to privatise everything

No! His in laws and companies will Playa bigger role.

The interesting question is who is the private sector🤔🤔who stand to benefit out of this measures to stabilise power supply In the country?

Because the ANC government is too usrless and criminal to manage this country. The VoetsekANC is showing us that Apartheid was much much much better.

Be reminded how long it took the ANC government to understand this needs to be done. What we have to go through - and now everyone will sing their praises as the best ever.....

Measures to stabilise power last time I checked the formula for kilowatts and megawatts isn't measures, it was volts times amps, this capacity must be generated through coils in a motorized turbine. If you could get hot air to generate power, we might be able to afford your loans

Translation: We need white companies to make things work. What has the black buisness council done exactly? Please feel free to list their achievements. I will wait.

And the dumb electorate cheer for their free yellow t-shirts 👏 👏 👏 🤡

Can somebody remind someone that this Country is not 4sale 👀, these are private and sealed benefits for some1

Does he have NDZ’s approval for this yet, or is she going to overrule this too?

Private sector will play a vital role by taking all states owned enterprises 🙄🙄

but as always with CyrilRamaphosa 's plans, big on promises but lite on detail & delivery..... VoetsekANC VoetsekANC VoetsekANC VoetsekANC VoetsekANC VoetsekANC

The weakest number 1

Sophie_Mokoena I personally think the crisis is man-made, actually ANC-made. It is a typical problem common in Africa where liberation fighters are thought to be administrators & allowed to rule after ‘independence’ Welcome to Zimbabwe

Sophie_Mokoena The president has put time frame on his task

Sophie_Mokoena Just a vibe taking us to a blackout

The Unions and The Enablers and Benificiaries of Corruption and Black Racists Cult Groups EFF-ATM-RET-UDM are Not happy with The Energy Emergency Plan of ANC Ramaphosa They have been Exposed of Fraud and Corruption in Eskom and their Operations Funding conduits has been Closed

Saftu slams president's energy plan for lack of consultationUnion Saftu isn't happy it wasn't consulted about government's plans to address the country's energy crisis. This is why South Africa cannot move forward. It is also probably why Africa has a lot of defacto dictatorships. What do the unions have to offer? Ke kgomo ya mošate(it's a conundrum).People complain that Ramaphosa never gets things done because he consults a lot.When he decides to do things his way without consultation he is also blamed. The man will never win.
