Head of the National Energy Crisis Committee, Rudi Dicks, says Eskom has received approval to be exempted from the new generation regulations. This will allow them to do emergency procurement and a number of other interventions.

Dicks has given an update on government’s implementation of the Energy Action Plan announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa to solveIn response to the severe impact of load shedding, Ramaphosa announced a slew of measures in July last year to add new generation capacity to the grid as quickly as possible.

“We don’t have to be sold on this in any particular way, we know that this is one of the quickest ways to try and ensure that we get, you know, both households and businesses off the grid, or partially off the grid to be able to alleviate and that’s going to be an important part of you of course. Now, the success of that is depending on whether these incentives or subsidies or any form of fiscal support, that’s there.

“And this is going to be quite critical, we started this work last year already, we were able to streamline and reduce or eliminate many of the red tape. This is moving pretty, fast and well. This is a partnership with the private sector, and we brought in the World Bank also to support us building on the one stop shop principle that has already been there. And so, we see seeing that going forward.
