President Cyril Ramaphosa says progress is being made.
President Cyril Ramaphosa said that there should be light at the end of the tunnel for the country’s electricity crisis if the national energy plan continues to be executed.
He said that the government’s primary focus remains on reducing the severity and frequency of load shedding through a range of interventions under the umbrella of the National Energy Crisis Committee . Despite his claims of progress, on 29 March, load shedding moved up to Stage 4 for the latter parts of this week. This comes after the country has experienced load shedding almost every day this year.Delays in completing maintenance on the company’s sole nuclear power plant have caused concern with electricity demand traditionally spiking during the colder season, and, thus, more generating capacity is needed.
Ramaphosa said that many of the public hospitals have alternative power supplies such as generators. The Department of Health has been working with Eskom to exempt more, he said.
