MONEYWEB app instead? A little digging raises more questions than answers. By Chris Yelland 24 May 2021  10:30  Minister Gwede Mantashe. Image: GCIS The budget speech by Minerals and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe to Parliament on May 18, 2021 had journalists scratching their heads. What did the minister mean when he went off-script and said that “our research and our survey” of 10 000 people indicated that the market was not ready for a 50MW threshold above which a generation licence is required, and that a 10MW threshold would do? An article in Engineering News quoted Minister Mantashe as having said: “There has been a lot of noise about this, but our research and our survey of 10 000 people showed overwhelming support for our move. The majority in the market say they are not ready for 50MW. The issue of debating between 10MW and 50MW is an academic one. The reality is the market is not ready for 50MW.”
