The City of Tshwane has allayed fears that its private partnership model of power generation could lead to job losses.
goal of procuring and generating 1 000 megawatts of electricityThe city says this would be achieved through a private partnership to increase the functioning of the Rooiwal and Pretoria West Power Stations.“Nobody will be losing their jobs. We guarantee that because the condition is that if you have to then take the responsibility of the plant, we will be checking as to which bid is best for us.
Eskom’s constant power cuts are worsened by ongoing vandalism of infrastructure, resulting in communities experiencing prolonged, unscheduled outages. The City says the plan is not to take over the running of the power stations but to use the infrastructure to generate energy supply.
