The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa , has warned that the introduction of privately-owned renewable independent power producers will lead to massive job losses.
Hlubi-Majola says, “This narrative that we’ve been told introducing more IPPs will end load shedding is frankly false. It’s just not true. Even during the load shedding crisis that we’ve had, the IPPs’ contributions have been minimal and will continue to be minimal because it is not a type of electricity that you can power industry with.”The on-going energy crisis in the country has led to the Buffalo City Metro clamping down on high energy users.
The Metro says it had no option but to take the step of reducing high power usage. Industries affected include the automotive sector which is seen as the backbone of the province’s economy.
They cause load shedding so as to accommodate these 'renewables' They know that these renewables are expensive and unjustified so they switch off generators, the public panics, they sign more renewables, they increase electricity prices to accommodate them and the cycle continues
