Eskom has welcomed the announcement by President Cyril Ramaphosa on measures to resolve the electricity crisis.

Eskom said it is engaged in efforts with interested stakeholders to fill the skills gap. It has reached out to the National Society of Black Engineers to ascertain if members are interested in helping Eskom bolster its skills.

“Eskom is placing emphasis on recovering its energy availability factor at especially its coal plants, where performance has been disappointing.”“Eskom’s efforts to acquire battery energy storage systems are already at an advanced stage, with further tranches of BESS roll-out to follow imminently. Furthermore, as the president announced, Eskom has already released land with grid connections for long-term leases by independent power producers, with more to follow in the near future.

Reforms removing limits to private sector investment in electricity generation capacity will help unlock capital and create jobs during construction of projects, while helping to lower the cost of electricity in the long term. “Eskom has significantly shortened the time required for IPPs to obtain cost estimate letters and budget quotes for grid access and is committed to optimising this process even further.

“Eskom looks forward to playing its part in the rapid and effective implementation of the president’s plan and will partner with government, regulators, labour and the private sector to ensure that we bring an end to load-shedding as soon as we can.”
