Eskom has beefed up energy security in lockdown, says Gwede Mantashe

“It is expected that diesel will be rationed until the end of May when refineries that were closed start producing,” said Mantashe.

To bolster energy security, Mantashe added, energy building projects that had halted due to the lockdown, would now be allowed to continue under strict health and safety measures. Mantashe’s department has also gazetted amendments to the Electricity Regulation Act on criteria for private companies wishing to generate their own power, restricted to 1MW.He was concerned that mining companies were prioritising screening over testing as the 4,600 tests conducted were out of more than 250,000 mining staff working since level 4.
