President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to announce an “emergency package” of measures to cut load shedding.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa will address the nation in the coming week about steps the government will take to alleviate the nation’s energy crisis, a governing party official said.
Eskom cut 4,000 megawatts from the grid from 05h00 on Friday, instead of the 5,000 megawatts it planned to remove, until further notice, the power utility said. The request for proposals, which will close on 27 February, is part of a program to encourage private producers to develop projects that will contribute to electricity supply. The four parcels of land in the latest phase are in Mpumalanga province.
Cape Town’s plans follow legislation passed in 2020 that allows municipalities to buy electricity from providers other than Eskom. The city plans to approach development-finance institutions, private companies and the government to finance the project.South Africa’s worst-ever power blackouts that curbed platinum and palladium output in 2022 continue to pose a threat to production, according to Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd.
