On Wednesday, a special Cabinet meeting will discuss a plan to slow down the decommissioning of old coal power stations.
News24 understands that the special Cabinet meeting was called after the ANC's national working committee on Monday approved a plan that would slow down the retirement of old coal power stations. Prolonging the life of Eskom coal stations will be in direct conflict with SA's just energy transition and the climate goals it committed to at the COP26 conference in 2021.
The special Cabinet meeting is also expected to focus on the ramping up of emergency power as power-utility Eskom implemented stage six load-shedding.
