Impossible to stop load-shedding by end of 2023, admits Ramokgopa

South Africa’s Minister of Electricity, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, seems to have a knack for flip-flopping.

South African electricity minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa says it is impossible to stop load-shedding by the end of 2023.702 reports“The long and short of it is that load-shedding will still be with us even by the end of this calendar year,” Ramokgopa said.

On that occasion, Ramokgopa said he thinks that load-shedding could be reduced to stage 3 by September 2023 and eliminated by the end of the year. That stood in stark contrast to feedback from former Eskom CEO André de Ruyter and well-documented evidence — including some provided at the State Capture Commission — that alleged Kusile’s problems were strongly linked to corrupt contracts.

Several official policy documents and plans explain how South Africa will decommission several coal power plants in the coming years and increasingly rely on solar and wind power.
