Electricity Minister, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa said there should be a balance between sufficient power supply and the efficient use of energy.
Ramokgopa on Friday extended his power station site visits to the Western Cape.
Ramokgopa was briefed by management teams at the Ankerlig and Koeberg Nuclear Power Stations.
The Minister emphasized his commitment to helping end load shedding.
The new Electricity Minister, however, pointed out that as the government is focused on addressing power generation inefficiencies, South Africans should help by cutting back on their energy use.
“It’s a message that will be communicated to the general public… just to have an appreciation that we can contribute towards the resolution of this challenge going into the future.”
On Saturday, Ramokgopa is expected to visit the hydroelectric Palmiet Power Station outside Grabouw in the Western Cape.
Government is committed to improving capacity at the power stations in order to increase the availability of electricity in the country. It calls on all South Africans to be part of this work, so that we can focus on rebuilding our economy #Loadshedding #electricity https://t.co/RU79foTnFM pic.twitter.com/wOGZ6UzdNR
