Nonprofit organisation the Energy Intensive User Group (EIUG) has welcomed the statements made by President Cyril Ramaphosa in his State of the Nation Address (SoNA) on February 10, and says it concurs with the President about the need for “a competitive market for electricity generation and the establishment of an independent State-owned transmission company.” It says Ramaphosa correctly diagnosed the root causes of the South African electricity crisis, being “aging power stations, poor maintenance, policy missteps and the ruinous effects of State capture”, leading to the current electricity supply shortfall of 4 000 MW.
