Hurry up and open energy market, DA urges government

The entry of more players into the energy market should be prioritised to tackle the electricity crisis, DA spokesperson on mineral resources & energy Kevin Mileham said.

Mileham urged mineral resources & energy minister Gwede Mantashe to take immediate steps to address the worsening electricity crisis. He said Mantashe missed an opportunity when the IRP was finally adopted to announce the easing of licensing requirements for entities generating less than 10MW; to give the required approvals, including to the City of Cape Town and several large mines, that want to be permitted to purchase directly from IPPs; and to ease the regulation of residential small-scale embedded generation.

In a statement on Sunday, Eskom said a number of generating units were still out of service due to breakdowns. “Stage two load-shedding will be implemented from 9am until 11pm tonight. Load-shedding is required all day today to cater for further trips and to create capacity to replenish water reserves for our pumped storage schemes. Eskom will communicate if there is a change in the system during the day,” the power utility said.

The SACP is not going to be happy! Oh but they are not a real political party so they will just have to suck it up. 😂
