Meanwhile, Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa says technical experts supported by the Resource Mobilisation Fund (RMF) will be stationed at various power stations across the country starting on Monday.
Ramokgopa made the announcement on Friday during a media briefing on the progress of the government’s energy action plan.
He said the team will visit four power stations with low Energy Availability Factors (EAFs): Matla, Kriel, Majuba, and Kendal.
In addition, support will be given to open-cycle gas turbines, which poses a challenge when it comes to logistics and storage and Ramokgopa is confident that the experts will provide solutions.
