Eskom has published its updated load shedding schedule for the coming week, with the power outages expected to continue until the weekend, albeit at a reduced stage.
Eskom has asked the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) for a 32.66% price hike, according to City Press. And, if the power utility is granted the exorbitant increase from Nersa, it will reportedly request an additional 10% increase…
Energy minister Gwede Mantashe says that a new second power generation company would fall under his department and generate electricity alongside Eskom.
South Africa could see the end of rolling blackouts by end of next week according to Eskom chief executive officer, Andre de Ruyter.
Joanne Yawitch, commissioner of the National Planning Commission says that plans are already in place to end load shedding in South Africa, which if sped up could come sooner.
South Africa is set to tackle “mafia” groups that have compromised power utility Eskom Holding’s operations and contributed to nationwide blackouts, Public Enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan said.
Power utility Eskom will no longer implement stage 4 load shedding on Wednesday (13 July), saying it has enough capacity to keep rolling blackouts at stage 3.
South Africa’s labour minister said he’ll oppose any move to privatize the beleaguered power utility Eskom Holdings, as it struggles to generate power, avoid outages and repay $23 billion of debt.
