Ramaphosa calls urgent Cabinet meeting to discuss new plan for old coal power stations

President Cyril Ramaphosa will chair a special Cabinet meeting on Wednesday to examine a plan by electricity minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa to slow the decommissioning of old coal power stations as the country battles with energy supply. News24 understands that the special Cabinet meeting was called after the African National Congress’ (ANC’s) national working committee (NWC) on Monday approved a plan that would slow down the retirement of old coal power stations.
