A meeting between Eskom and big business on Friday identified a number of areas where the business sector can make a practical and impactful contribution towards a sustainable electricity supply industry.

These include opportunities to invest in own-generation projects and independent power producers through land leasing and wheeling arrangements and encouraging the use of electricity sparingly to safeguard the national grid through co-ordinated energy efficiency campaigns.

Other areas identified for business include providing support for security interventions to protect the electricity infrastructure from vandalism and theft. In a statement on Sunday, Eskom said in its ongoing endeavours to resolve the long-running electricity crisis, the power utility met CEOs and top leadership from over 70 private institutions in a session led by the JSE and Business Leadership SA on Friday.

“The purpose of the discussions was to identify initiatives where the parties can collaborate and plant the seeds of opportunity to leverage private sector investment capacity and harvest the low-hanging fruit in the electricity industry,” Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter said.

The system u see on the picture is the 1 that compel us to buy electricity, no payment no electricity even if we bought electricity there is load reduction in our area here in Khumalo Valley, Katlehong township. This nonsense must stop

Why Eskom introduce load reduction to us paying customers it looks like those 2 white management De Ruyte n Oberhozer have brought racism at Eskom even if we buy electricity there is load reduction in the townships

Eskom has installed new system that compel us to buy electricity. On Friday I bought electricity.But on Saturday there was a load reduction. I stay in Katlehong township in Khumal valley, Eskom must stop load reduction on our area because we are buying elctricity

Any1 who still believes that our govt intends to return ESKOM to its former glory is, quite frankly, living in a dream world. Do you understand the amount of billions/trillions that these vultures stand to make in the renewable energy space...? SABCNews MYANC Our_DA A_C_D_P
