Load shedding: Energy crisis committee releases update on action plan

JOHANNESBURG - The National Energy Crisis Committee has released a progress report on the implementation of the energy action plan for the next six months.The ailing power utility is struggling to keep the lights on due to ongoing breakdowns at its power plants as frustrations mount over the chronic power cuts in the country.

The progress report is the first update since President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the establishment of the crisis committee in July last year - whose role is to oversee key interventions in the energy sector.READ: Ramaphosa instructs energy crisis committee to fast-track planPresidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said residents' anger towards Eskom is justified.

"South Africans are right to demand immediate action to address the devastating impact of load shedding on our lives and on the economy. The energy action plan provides a clear way out of this crisis. South Africa doesn't need any new plans we are focusing on implementing this plan fully and effectively to achieve energy security for all South Africans," Magwenya said.

He added that further updates on the energy action plan will be provided more regularly from this point.

What is that plan, another commision on what the investigation commision on what caused the load shedding outlines should be?

Privatise electricity generation now. Eskom to focus on distribution and government to regulate the price of electricity distributed on its network. On our network.

Lol abazi nex hle

If they can implement it now, it may help. This could have been implemented years ago.

What is plan for power always

Déjà vu: that feeling you get when you've heard it all before, but the South African version is you also smell bull manure.

Mission accomplished.. Cyril is into the final stages of privatizing Eskom - and here we are waiting for 2024 to remove 🚮 it's official - muntu mele enze iPlan, ahambe la South Africa is dead

ClydeMallinson, what are your thoughts on this? I got excited reading it, but it's so hard to remain optimistic.

Madness is the loop🤣🤣

All this and more by 2035..

After 15 years, there’s another ‘plan’ after everything is run to the ground. 🤮

Stop exporting our electricity to neighbouring countries.

rid1tweets would be great to have a tracker of the progress in this action plan like with covid stats.

Just as block 16 switched randomly off again like Eishdom’s emergency switch!!!!!

😂🤣😭🤣😭🤣😂🤣😭

Talk no action, luckily they switched us on now after 7 hours

Eskom state stage 2 on Sunday but they switch areas off for over 12 hours claiming it's a fault but in reality it's not. All it is, is eskom not been able to fulfill their promise so they switch areas off and claim its a fault.

So tired of plans upon plans. Would love to see action.

Lol I actually read the recommendations, so it’s mini-privatisation.

That committee is not doing much 😂

Ah mxm

This has been the plan all along 🚮

Looks like we are still going to pray to the weather Gods for us to have electricity

Do they realize this is a plan that won't show any results this year. By then 100s of businesses would have closed and 1000s will have lost their jobs. But why worry, with this committee it's more people getting massive salaries

Let's pray and hope the action plan is workable and no sabotage
