The South African electricity supply industry is at a pivotal point, and the partial unbundling of State-owned power utility Eskom remains a key hurdle to boosting investor confidence, highlights South African Independent Power Producers Association (SAIPPA) chairperson Leoné Human. She adds that the introduction of the 100 MW exemption played a key role in addressing the country’s energy crisis, with independent power producer (IPP) projects that had historically taken years to complete now being built much more quickly, providing private consumers with power and alleviating the electricity crisis.
