Speaking at a briefing on the progress of the Action Energy Plan at the GCIS offices in Tshwane on Sunday morning, minister of electricity Kgosientsho Ramokgopa said positive developments in various areas had all contributed to steady, stable and general improvement, with the current outlook being no load-shedding for 16 hours per day and stage 3 for eight.
Another challenge, Ramokgopa said, was outage slips. This is the failure to return electricity supply at the stipulated time after load-shedding.“At the moment we are averaging 1,503MW a day on outage slips, down from a high in May of about 4,000MW.”He said the demand for electricity was expected to increase as more people are connected to the grid, meaning the issue of transmission needed to be addressed with speed.“We need to resolve this with finances.
