Power utility Eskom and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) have signed a partnership agreement aimed at synergising the research capabilities of the two State-owned organisations, in support of Eskom’s strategic and operational needs.
 
The five-year agreement was aimed at aligning and enhancing interaction between the organisations in support of national goals.

A bilateral committee, comprising CSIR and Eskom executives, had been established to discuss potential projects for further consideration by delegated steering groups.

“The partnership will further strengthen our collaborative relationship and, accordingly, this agreement provides for collaboration to establish a long-term relationship to perform scientific and operational research and evaluation tasks and provide scientific decision support in support of Eskom’s strategic and operational needs,” commented Eskom CEO Brian Molefe.
  
CSIR CEO Dr Sibusiso Sibisi noted that energy was one of the CSIR’s areas of focus and that the organisation wanted to help the country achieve an energy-secure and low-carbon national economy.
 
“Together, Eskom and the CSIR can come up with innovative solutions for current and future energy issues, determine what the new electricity system will look like and what the plans and responses should be that need to be put in place to build the future South African energy system,” he added.
