President Cyril Ramaphosa is calling for an urgent meeting to discuss Eskom.
President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to chair a special Cabinet meeting this Wednesday to debate slowing down the decommissioning of ageing coal power plants.reports that the urgent meeting was called after a ruling party national working committee on Monday confirmed that it would support the slowing down of the retirement of old coal power stations.
The decision to slow down the bringing to an end to the age of coal reliance stands in stark contrast to the country’s Just Transition Framework that entails the shift toward renewable energy. Under the multi-billion-dollar agreement Ramaphosa has with wealthier countries looking to assist in the decarbonisation of South Africa, there are a number of conditional loans that require the country to stick with its mandate of curtailing coal use.
Despite this not being an official proposal for the way forward, he raised concerns about South Africa’s rapid decommissioning of coal power stations and replacing them with renewable energy sources that may not generate the same amount of power as the stations being taken offline.
