‘Significant progress’ since launching the Energy Action Plan – Ramaphosa

A year has passed since we launched the Energy Action Plan to resolve the load shedding crisis, and we are now able to report significant progress in several areas. Today , we are releasing a detailed report outlining the work done to improve the performance of Eskom’s power stations, accelerate the building of new generation capacity and drive regulatory reforms to transform the electricity sector.

Presidency ‘very concerned’ about licence for Eskom transmission unit The winter months will soon be coming to an end. Although load shedding has continued, as was anticipated, we have managed to avert a worst-case scenario by stabilising the performance of Eskom’s power stations and reducing demand. Eskom’s generation fleet continues to show sustained improvement. Unplanned losses have been reduced to less than 16000 MW in in the last two months, down from more than 18 000 MW previously.

Cape Town to pay cash for residents’ excess power Regulatory changes have helped to boost private investment in new generation capacity. These changes include the removal of the licensing threshold for generation facilities and the fast-tracking of project approvals and registration. This work has enabled a massive boom in private investment in electricity generation, with a pipeline of more than 10 000 MW of new capacity that will begin to connect to the grid later this year.
