The National Planning Commission has called for emergency measures to deal with the energy supply crisis facing South Africa.
Commission has called for emergency measures to deal with the energy supply crisis facing South Africa.
“The most immediate priority is to ensure that new generation capacity is rapidly and urgently brought onto the grid, together with significant new storage capacity. Evidence suggests it is possible to do this within 24 months if 10GW of new generation capacity is rapidly constructed and commissioned as well as 5GW of storage capacity,” the commission said in a statement.
The NPC said an “energy emergency” should be declared “that will make it possible to override some of the red tape that is preventing the acceleration of delivery of new generation capacity”.The 100MW ceiling on private generation that doesn’t require a licence from energy regulator Nersa should be removed because Eskom’s grid code and grid connection authorisation process is sufficient to regulate this growing market.
