The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) has called for urgent and structured consultations between organised labour and the National Energy Crisis Committee (Necom) task team that is deliberating on the transfer of Eskom’s transmission assets to an independent Transmission System Operator (TSO). In his State of the Nation Address (SoNA), President Cyril Ramaphosa gave the task team three months to report back to him on the restructuring process, including clear time frames for its phased implementation.
