New WBS programmes aim to create pipeline of leadership in energy field

06 September 2019 - 08:16South Africa’s renewable energy programme has been constrained by getting power into Eskom’s grid. File photo.The energy industry in Africa is arguably one of the most exciting, complex and challenging environments to work in. The continent has enormous energy potential, largely untapped, and will be one of the fastest growing regions for energy demand in the next decade.

SA’s energy challenges are well documented. The crisis that Eskom is facing cannot be underestimated. The utility is experiencing a so-called death spiral, brought on by declining sales and higher tariffs, which leads to further declines in sales. The problem has been compounded by the notorious Medupi and Kusile power station projects, which are, as Crompton points out, “probably the single largest disaster in SA’s economic history”.

He also notes that the plan to split the utility into three subsidiaries, has been government policy since 1998.
