During a sitting of Parliament on the debate of the Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan, Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe has reiterated government’s targets to deliver 16 313 MW of additional electricity generation capacity from a mix of energy sources.
Mantashe pointed out that an already recessive economy, coupled with the descent of the pandemic and the lockdown to halt its spread, as well as downgrades by ratings agencies, had increased the reliance on a recovery plan to provide reliable and affordable supply of energy.
