Sola Group CEO Dom Wills says Eskom's Grid Access Unit should be transferred to the National Transmission Company South Africa as soon as possible to remove Eskom's monopoly over grid-access decisions and improve transparency for independent power producers. He warns the current government timeline could delay full separation of the transmission system until about 2029, while Eskom Green says its renewable projects, including a 75 MW solar plant under construction at Lethabo power station, will not receive preferential grid access.
Eskom signs LNG supply agreements for Richards Bay gas-to-power projectThe Zululand Energy Terminal has signed heads of agreement with ExxonMobil South Africa LNG, following an earlier deal with Eskom, which intends to be a foundation customer using imported gas for a planned 3 000 MW gas-to-power project at Richards Bay costing up to R100-billion.
Winter heating pushes up household electricity billsHouseholds are urged to manage geysers, heaters and appliance use as winter consumption typically rises by at least 20%, with Eskom advising reduced usage during peak hours of 06:00 to 10:00 and 17:00 to 21:00.
