News24 reports that a team of experts supported by the Resource Mobilisation Fund (RMF) will be deployed to power stations across South Africa starting from Monday, 5 June, according to minister in the presidency responsible for electricity Kgosientsho Ramokgopa.
He gave an update on the progress regarding the energy action plan on Friday. The team will focus on power stations with low energy availability factors (EAF). These will include Matla, Kriel, Majuba, and Kendal power stations. The RMF, which has already raised R100 million from businesses and philanthropies since its launch in March, will provide technical support and capacity to the National Energy Crisis Committee (Necom) in an effort to end load shedding. The experts, consisting of former Eskom employees and industry professionals, will be allocated according to their specialities. Ramokgopa expressed confidence in the demand management support programme, which aims to claw back megawatts without disrupting households' electricity supply.
