    How do we measure the social, economic and environmental impacts of power projects? Which indicators should we use? What's the evidence base on impacts? I enjoyed working with Gabrielle Dyson on this booklet for the CDC

    This has to one of the silliest policy proposals in a while. There are hundreds of energy companies interested in generating electricity in South Africa. No need for another state generator. And who will fund it? We’re creating diversions instead of opening our power market

    Thinking about doing a similar conversion: the classic beauty of a car from the 1960s with modern electric technology. And their performance improves - have to be soft on that accelerator pedal...

    Progress. Minister has kickstarted regulatory reforms for self generation. Hope it’s done soon. Next step is to permit direct willing buyer, willing seller deals, i.e. consumers can chose their own electricity supplier and pay a regulated tariff for grid services

    Mining bosses welcome South Africa Energy Minister ’s support for self generation. Mark Cutifani, CEO of Anglo, in today’s . Everyone is waiting for the regulations to be amended for licence exemptions. Recommended ages ago. Meanwhile loadshedding

    It’s that light blue line down in the bottom left of ’s chart you need to be worried about. The performance of ’s power stations is at an historic low. The kit is old. Over the past 15 years maintenance has been skipped or underdone. Hard to fix this now

    That’s fine, Dave. It’s around choice. And we should encourage consumers who generate their own power to stay grid-connected so that we can optimize the system and costs. That will require time-differentiated energy billing with adequate compensation also for grid infrastructure

    SA Energy Minister confirms that all that will be required for electricity self-generation is registration (i.e. no Ministerial or NERSA licence permissions). Now he needs to gazette amendments to Schedule 2 of the Electricity Regulatory Act. Counting the days

    While South Africa’s economy stumbles, constrained by power cuts, with protecting its dominant position, 106 countries have unbundled their power systems, creating independent transmission/system/market operators, thus facilitating investment & competition. We’re behind

    President often uses this metaphor: “All our energy eggs are in Eskom’s basket; if they fall the economy breaks. We need to diversify our power supplies.” Aren’t we glad we are no longer forced to depend only on Telkom. Similarly, we need choices in power supply

    South Africa’s power utility owns & controls the national grid. It is also a dominant generator. Amazing that some (like this lead today) still question the rationale for unbundling. If we’re to have competition in generation we need an independent grid

    Amazing. It’s 6pm, there’s high cloud, no direct sunlight and my solar PV system is still producing more electricity than I’m consuming and feeding back into the grid during peak national demand. I love this new App on my Phone with real time data

    Thanks for this useful thread . Important to follow this story. Energy Minister caused statements to be inserted into South Africa’s IRP electricity plan around preparing for a nuclear future even though the modeling indicated it’s not competitive.

    “No buyer yet for new round of renewables”. Really? The next DMRE REIPPP auctions will deliver electricity priced lower than the operating costs of ’s coal power stations. It will SAVE South Africa’s power utility money. Duh! # via

    It’s a long time since we’ve seen a press conference like this by South Africa’s national power utility . New CEO Andre de Ruyter communicates well and has set clear priorities. Watch here via

    Last night during Eskom load-shedding I looked outside: darkness everywhere, except a few homes which were fully lit. This morning I see that each of those houses has solar PV on their roofs (and batteries, presumably). Solar works, peeps, it works just fine 😊

    If this is about selling the remaining IP of South Africa’s Pebble Bed Modular Nuclear Reactor (never constructed), and related test facilities, watch Energy Minister Mantashe and Dave Nicholls of NECSA stop the process
