The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy has signed an agreement with three independent power producers. It’s hoped that this will help generate more energy capacity to help curb the electricity crisis that the country is facing.

Earlier on Thursday, the power utility was at the ceremony in which the energy department and three wind power suppliers signed agreements in Centurion, Pretoria.Eskom Group Executive for Transmission Segomoco Scheppers says, “While the current plant is receiving attention, it’s clearly important that we invest in new capacity and this is a key milestone towards making a contribution towards that journey. I do appreciate the hard work that is happening behind the scenes.

Meanwhile, Eastern Cape Premier, Oscar Mabuyane, has welcomed the increased investment in wind-generated electricity in the province.The province is already home to 16 wind farms.“It comes at a very crucial moment. We are really in need of that, not only as the province, as the entire country as you all know the demand now supersedes the supply. So, Eskom is battling, it’s struggling.

Privatise Eskom!

So, the magical solution to a 15 year problem is to sign a dodgy agreement with mystery power producers? Why the f*ck could we not do this 10 years ago? You people have made SA into a joke all because you're too busy stealing and making your friends rich to do what's right.

From 1960 until 1992 Eskom installed 19 power stations. Eskom produced 56 Gigawatts per day with 17 000 employes in 1994. It now produces (on a good day) in the order of 27 Gigawatts of electricity with 47 000 employees. DO THE MATH !!
