Magwenya said the progress update outlined important steps that have been taken to follow through on the commitments announced by Ramaphosa.

“Since the licensing threshold was first raised to 100 MW, the pipeline of private sector projects has grown to more than 100 projects with over 9000 MW of capacity. The first of these large-scale projects are expected to connect to the grid by the end of this year,” Magwenya said.Magwenya said a new ministerial determination has also been published for 14771 MW of new generation capacity from wind, solar and battery storage to accelerate further bid windows.

“A team of independent experts has been established to work closely with Eskom to diagnose the problems at poorly performing power stations and take action to improve plant performance,” he said.Magwenya added that six power stations have been identified for particular focus over the coming months through a comprehensive Generation Recovery Plan, with oversight from the new Eskom board.

Ramaphosa said South Africans are “right to demand immediate action to address the devastating impact of load shedding on our lives and on the economy”
