To solve the problem, the national energy crisis committee , which Baleni leads, is working on emergency legislation to allow energy projects to proceed quicker and enable co-ordinated and decisive action. “Work is under way to accelerate procurement of additional capacity and overcome constraints with grid capacity. Another priority is to support and encourage the rollout of solar in homes and businesses.”
“Eskom is also working to connect Kusile unit 5 to the grid by July this year and restore other units at Medupi, Kusile and Koeberg with significant capacity. As these measures take effect, the supply will significantly improve.” “Since the announcement in July last year, an additional 300MW has been imported through the Southern African Power Pool and negotiations are under way to secure a potential 1,000MW from neighbouring countries starting this year.”
