“The minister has failed to get additional energy onto the grid, despite President Ramaphosa having signed agreements to buy electricity from renewable energy companies in 2018, but today Mantashe has just delayed the whole process,” he said. “Out of the 15 coal-fired power stations, we only have two new ones in Medupi and Kusile, which are also placed under enormous pressure,” Trollip said.Mark Swilling, Distinguished Professor of Sustainable Development and Co-Director of the at the University of Stellenbosch, also accused Mantashe of dragging his feet with respect to approvals for renewable energy sources.
“You can’t take more off the grid now in order to properly fix the generation capacity that should have been procured in 2015 and onwards.
