Grid, market and skills identified by energy council as key reform priorities

Energy Council of South Africa CEO James Mackay has highlighted three priorities for the organisation, whose public and private member companies have seconded some 300 professionals to support the  implementation of government’s Energy Action Plan since its launch in 2022 to tackle intense loadshedding and to support electricity reform. In a statement released following the council’s recent AGM, Mackay again warned that the risk of loadshedding persisted, because new generation was not coming online at the pace required.
