Another Chapter in the Energy Debate
The energy struggles rage on, as you well may expect, despite a lull in load-shedding implementation. Whether ESKOM is really upping their game, or is just grimly trying to plaster over the cracks and hold on because it will not do the ruling party a whole lot of good in the election campaign –well, that is a matter for yet more election-tide speculation I guess.
But there are indications that the move to renewable solutions has gathered momentum, and it’s the way forward in most planning and policy
think tanks.
That doesn’t stop the coal lobby from lumbering on, with the trade unions repeating the tired old mantra of “job losses” in the wake of recommendations for South Africa to veer away from coal, or at least level off plans to increase coal-fired generation capacity.
