Cabinet has welcomed an agreement that will see Mozambique supply South Africa with 100 megawatts of electricity within the next three months. This follows the signing of the Power Purchase Agreement.
Minister in the Presidency, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, was speaking during a briefing in Pretoria on the outcomes of the Cabinet meeting.
She says, “The next 3 – 12 months will see South Africa importing up to 1 000 megawatts of electricity from Mozambique. Cabinet further welcomed continuous improvement in Eskom’s generation capacity that has ensured the utility registers over 60% Energy Availability Factor.”
“Cabinet extends its appreciation to South Africans for your contribution in lowering the demand for electricity, which has contributed to Eskom being able to maintain lower stages of load shedding.”
