Eskom needs a new management team, this is clear. But the country also needs new leadership.
All of Eskom’s 15 power stations are in breach of the Minimum Emission Standard, and Eskom has beenby the department of forestry, fisheries & the environment to scale down the emissions or shut its power stations.
The CEO’s departure signals a deepening crisis in terms of scheduled power cuts. The country is now suffering regular rolling blackouts and must adapt to a routine, leaving a generation shortfall of 4-5GW. Since only 66% of Eskom’s demand side is subject to power cuts — the national key points which consume 33% of the total demand are untouched by load shedding — this means six to eight hours per day of no power for the average consumer.
