Outa’s calculations suggest that energy procured from Karpowership could cost more than triple the amount South Africans currently pay for electricity per kWh.

The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse is suing the National Energy Regulator of South Africa over the distribution licences it granted Karpowership, saying the potential deal is like “shooting an ant with a shotgun”.

Quoting Outa CEO Wayne Duvenage, Fick said the signing of a 20-year “emergency deal” is like “shooting an ant with a shotgun”. “You’re talking about 1,200MW. That will maybe change a stage of load-shedding. Karpowership is not the solution to the big energy crisis we have in South Africa.”

Karpowership deal won’t stop load shedding, says OutaOuta is taking the energy regulator Nersa to court over licences granted to the Turkish company, which wants to use a power ship to add 1,200 megawatts of electricity to the grid. That's one stage of loadshedding right there. At one financial cost, I don't know. But how can SA media celebrate 155MW of wind power being added in the future to the grid, and then focus on the fact that 1.2GW won't solve loadshedding? That's obvious, OUTA must just accept that Kapowerships are part of the new generation of energy mix this country sorely need. Okay OUTASA , to adopt this attitude during a disastrous situation is wrong. You must have solar panels and lots of generators. The karpowerships are only used in emergencies. What do you suggest instead?
