Cape Town – Minister of Electricity Kgosientsho Ramokgopa is planning a series of follow-up visits to Eskom power stations around the country.
The visits are scheduled to start with Arnot and Hendrina power stations in Mpumalanga on Monday.
“The visits are a follow-up to the initial round of visits that Minister Ramokgopa undertook upon his appointment as the Minister of Electricity in March 2023. During the visits, the Minister sought to acquire more insights into the challenges facing the power stations.
“[This is] in order to advance the necessary interventions required to fix Eskom in line with the objectives of the Energy Action Plan to improve the reliability of electricity supply and end load shedding,” the Ministry in the Presidency for Electricity said in a statement.
Ramokgopa is expected to engage with management, unions, and workers during these visits, which will include other power stations in various provinces.
