It is critical that government consolidates around the National Electricity Crisis Committee (Necom) plan and delivers on the implementation timelines as they stand now. "Given that there is 3 GW less generation available than during the past winter, it seems certain that South Africa is heading for Stage 8 loadshedding this winter. Business is an eager partner of the plan, ready to work where appropriate to ensure the goals are met, and a sense of progress is the one comfort we should have during the dark days ahead," says business lobby organisation Business Leadership South Africa (BLSA) CEO Busi Mavuso.
The painful experience of Stage 8 would be easier to endure if we had high confidence that it was the low point in our electricity recovery plan: BLSA CEO.
