66GW of renewable energy is in the pipeline, as government ramps up efforts to address EnergyCrisis. Eskom load-shedding renewables

As government ramps up efforts to address South Africa’s energy crisis, 66GW of renewable energy is in the pipeline.

Eskom supplies SA’s electricity needs largely from coal-fired power stations. However, poor maintenance at the facilities has been cited as the biggest reason for the power cuts. “Twelve of these actions are delayed but progressing well. Of course, that is a dent because what we want is to be either ahead of time or on time. Eight of those are off-track and intervention is on the way…so we are missing our own targets that we set ourselves.”

He pointed out that delays in returning broken units to service have come down from 2 000MW to 1 300MW during the past week.
