Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
These measures are necessary to revive economic growth and create jobs. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We aim to do this by stabilising Eskom and improving plant performance, establishing a competitive electricity market, opening the way for private investment in new generation capacity and increasing our investment in renewables. https://t.co/Gbpn1hjFbp — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Fellow South Africans, The measures I have outlined are not just to address our immediate constraints. Our ultimate objective is to achieve long-term energy security, so that we never have to experience an electricity shortage again. https://t.co/Gbpn1hjFbp — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The relevant Ministers will report to me directly on a regular basis to ensure that we move quickly to implement these actions. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The National Energy Crisis Committee will draw on the best available expertise from business, labour, professional engineering entities and community-based organisations. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The committee is chaired by the Director-General in the Presidency, and brings together all the departments and entities involved in the provision of electricity. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
To ensure that these measures are implemented in a coordinated manner, I have established a National Energy Crisis Committee. https://t.co/Gbpn1hjFbp — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Finally, we are fundamentally transforming the electricity sector and positioning it for future sustainability. https://t.co/Gbpn1hjFbp — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We call on all South Africans to use electricity sparingly as we work towards ending load shedding and getting more energy on the grid. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This means that those who can and have installed solar panels in their homes or businesses will be able to sell surplus power they don’t need to Eskom. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
To incentivise greater uptake of rooftop solar, Eskom will develop rules and a pricing structure – known as a feed-in tariff – for all commercial and residential installations on its network. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
There is significant potential for households and businesses to install rooftop solar and connect this power to the grid. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Fourth, we intend to enable businesses and households to invest in rooftop solar. South Africa has great abundance of sun which we should use to generate electricity. https://t.co/Gbpn1hjFbp — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We will in the meantime waive or streamline certain regulatory requirements where it is possible to do so within existing legislation. https://t.co/Gbpn1hjFbp — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We raised this matter this morning with leaders of political parties represented in the National Assembly. There was broad agreement that this process should be hastened once the special legislation is tabled in Parliament. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We will therefore be tabling special legislation in Parliament on an expedited basis to address the legal and regulatory obstacles to new generation capacity for a limited period. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
While existing legislation may be sufficient in ordinary times, the current crisis requires that we act decisively and more speedily. https://t.co/Gbpn1hjFbp — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The process, from design to commercial operation, has tended to take more than three years due to lengthy regulatory processes and red tape. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
One of our greatest challenges in adding capacity to the grid is the time that it takes for any energy project to receive the necessary approvals and commence construction. https://t.co/Gbpn1hjFbp — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
While they will not require licences, all new generation projects will still have to register with the regulator and comply with the technical requirements for grid connection and our environmental legislation. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Following the success of this reform and the enthusiasm shown by the private sector, we will remove the licensing threshold for embedded generation completely. This will enable private investment in electricity generation to rise to higher levels. https://t.co/Gbpn1hjFbp — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are already working together with industry to accelerate the most advanced projects, several of which are already entering construction. These changes have fundamentally changed the generation landscape. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Last year we announced the raising of the licensing threshold to 100 MW. This move was widely welcomed. It has unlocked a pipeline of more than 80 confirmed private sector projects with a combined capacity of over 6,000 MW. https://t.co/Gbpn1h23MP — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Third, we are accelerating greater private investment in generation capacity. https://t.co/Gbpn1hjFbp — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
To ensure effective planning, the country’s Integrated Resource Plan is being reviewed to reflect the need for additional generation capacity and our climate commitments. https://t.co/Gbpn1hjFbp — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
All this will add a total of 14,000 MW of solar, wind and battery storage. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy will issue a determination for the remaining allocations in the Integrated Resource Plan 2019, and will open further bid windows on an expedited basis. https://t.co/Gbpn1hjFbp — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We will release a request for proposals for battery storage by September this year, and a further request for gas power as soon as possible thereafter https://t.co/Gbpn1hjFbp — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The amount of new generation capacity procured through Bid Window 6 for wind and solar power will be doubled from 2,600 MW to 5,200 MW. https://t.co/Gbpn1hjFbp — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The Department of Trade, Industry and Competition together with the Independent Power Producers Office will provide further details in this regard within the coming days. https://t.co/Gbpn1hjFbp — PolitiTweet.org
