Electricity and Energy Minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa has expressed confidence that tariff and non-tariff solutions can be found to ensure that Eskom is able to meet the obligations set by the National Treasury as part of the R256-billion debt-relief package while still allowing the entity to invest in new generation capacity. In a briefing called to mark the fact that, as of October 13, loadshedding had not been implemented for more than 200 days, Ramokgopa expressed support for the State-owned entity’s plan to build 2 GW of new wind and solar PV capacity over the coming two to three years.
