Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
While the challenges we face are steep, our starting point must be to acknowledge the severity of the crisis. If we recognise the challenge, if we understand its root causes, we can fund and implement solutions. https://t.co/XySPSw75Yi — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This government has the task of building a new economy in the wake of a global pandemic, and of placing our country on a strong footing for the next decade and beyond. https://t.co/XySPSw75Yi — PolitiTweet.org

Municipalities will have discretion to approve grid connection applications in their networks, based on an assessment of the impact on their grid. https://t.co/XySPSw75Yi — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Generation projects will also need to have their registration approved by the regulator to verify that they have met these requirements and to receive authorisation to operate. https://t.co/XySPSw75Yi — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This will ensure that we are able to bring online as much new capacity as possible without compromising the integrity or stability of our energy system. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
However, generation projects will still need to obtain a grid connection permit to ensure that they meet all of the requirements for grid compliance. https://t.co/XySPSw75Yi — PolitiTweet.org

Generators will also be allowed to wheel electricity through the transmission grid, subject to wheeling charges and connection agreements with Eskom or the relevant municipality. https://t.co/XySPSw75Yi — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The amended regulations will exempt generation projects up to 100 MW in size from the NERSA licensing requirement, whether or not they are connected to the grid. This will remove a significant obstacle to investment in embedded generation projects. https://t.co/XySPSw75Yi — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We also know that in responding to any crisis, we must remain agile and willing to adapt our interventions to match the circumstances that we face. The interventions that we planned yesterday may not be sufficient to meet our needs today. https://t.co/XySPSw75Yi — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We know that to confront the energy challenge will require bold and urgent action, not yesterday, but now. Incremental measures will not be sufficient to meet the scale of this challenge. https://t.co/XySPSw75Yi — PolitiTweet.org
