Load-shedding is slowly choking SA

South Africa’s electricity sector has faced a series of challenges over the last two decades. [The Conversation]

This useless pompous government was warned well in advance that more power stations need to be built. But the moronic cANCer knew better.

I thought this condition was well-known to every single person living in the country bar the minister responsible for energy. He has consistently let the country down, year after year, and is still in denial regarding the solution.

With an attitude like that, there is no hope of ever climbing out of the morass

Eskom power cuts slowly choking South Africa
Also
Eskom pollution slowly choking South Africa.

It's not just Eskom, it the ANC policies, corruption, incompetence, maladministration.

Electricity tariff increases are just rewarding Eskom for corruption, incompetence, maladministration.

Someone should reach out to EDF to help us get one or two more reactors online to add to our energy mix

I think everyone and their dog know about this. Even the current administration knows about this. You’re not contributing anything with your ‘I told you so’ mentality. Yes it’s all known data. Mbeki and Zuma’s administrations didn’t do what they had to do. It’s not the ‘ANC’ it was the administration back then. If you want to be pedantic the current ANC administration is actively working on sorting things out.

That’s why Andre de Ruyter is in charge of Eskom and why the Eskom is actively buying power form private power producers. See bid window 6 of the Renewable Energy Procurement Programme.

Justified doom and gloom this time. It's not like BT negative spam. You can't run industry on generators, those furnaces, mining machinery etc need a lot of power. This country is very much being stuffed by Eskom inability to supply reliable power.

No they didn't.. Any significant business has a diverse energy mix where they can, but they are still reliant on eskom to function

Slowly?

 

[Creag]

Choking the country/economy through:

- government bailouts (taxpayer, et al, suffers)
- foreign direct investment withheld
- additional cost to business/economy to generate electricity in absence of Eskum generation
- local company investment withheld

You don't run a business off generators, it's there as a backup. Businesses (and households) that can afford it, have started provisioning their own power.

All that money saved is money that is not going to Eskom. And therefore not back to government via taxes and municipalities...

And as an investor you'd give first shot to the country where basic infrastructure like electricity works and is reliable. You don't want a country who claim to be open for business as long as you bring your own power plant.
