MMUSI MAIMANE: Build One South Africa has joined the legal proceedings against Eskom and Pravin Gordhan - Coalition seeks to halt the 18.65% tariff increase, end load-shedding, and hold the state accountable for its failure to provide electricity

by the National Electricity Regulator of South Africa , put an end to load-shedding, and hold the government accountable for its failure to provide electricity to the nation.

Secondly, that load-shedding will stop with immediate effect, and if not, a full explanation about why the government is unable to stop it with immediate effect. Alternatively, a specific timetable detailing when load-shedding will end, and the reasons for the said timetable. And lastly, that the state will commit to reasonably compensating everyone who has suffered quantifiable financial losses because of load-shedding.

South Africa has significant potential to save money through energy efficiency and to increase the share of renewable energy in its energy mix. The country gets 90% of its electricity from coal, as a result of which it is one of the 15 largest emitters of carbon dioxide worldwide. At the same time, increasing economic growth and a lack of investment in power plants are causing shortages in the electricity supply.

According to the National Development Plan, 17 800 megawatts should be provided by renewable energies. To achieve this, the government plans to install 8 400MW of wind energy, 8 400MW of solar photovoltaic energy and 1 000MW of concentrated solar power by 2030.
