Ramaphosa: ANC NEC supports the need to revisit decommissioning schedule: President Cyril Ramaphosa says the ANC supports the revisiting of SA’s decommissioning of coal-fired power stations schedule as the country struggles to balance its energy security…
Ramaphosa, who was delivering closing remarks at the end of the party’s national executive committee’s four-day meeting, said this was not a new approach as a number of other countries have had to do so when they were faced with a variety of crises in their energy generation sectors.
“However, the manner in which these commitments are implemented must not compromise our national interest such as energy security or the immediate priority of reducing load-shedding,” said Ramaphosa. “Any decision on decommissioning will be informed by a detailed technical assessment of the feasibility of continuing to operate older plants. It will also be informed by the time frame in which we can expect new capacity from other energy sources and the impact on our decarbonisation trajectory,” wrote Ramaphosa.
