Eskom has signed a R125-million grant agreement with Agence Française de Développement (AFD) to support the development of the proposed Tubatse pumped storage system project, located in the Elias Motsoaledi Local Municipality in Limpopo. The 1.5 GW Tubatse project, which would be pursued as a public-private partnership, could comprise four 375 MW units and have a storage capacity of 21 GWh.
The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) has called on stakeholders wanting to make oral presentations on Eskom’s Sixth Multi-Year Price Determination (MYPD6) to submit their requests to do so immediately. Nersa is gearing up to conduct nationwide public hearings on the revenue application from November 18  until  December 4, starting in Cape Town and concluding in Gauteng.
