Ramaphosa Calls Urgent Cabinet Meeting Over Plan For Old Coal Power Plants-News24

SOUTH AFRICA

News24 reports that South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has called a special Cabinet meeting for today to discuss Energy Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa's plan to slow down the decommissioning of old coal power stations amid the ongoing energy crisis.

  • The news website "understands that the special Cabinet meeting was called after the ANC's national working committee (NWC) on Monday approved a plan that would slow down the retirement of old coal power stations."
  • "Prolonging the life of Eskom coal stations will be in direct conflict with SA's just energy transition and the climate goals it committed to at the COP26 conference in 2021." Some $8.5bn in foreign funding is tied to these goals.
  • "The special Cabinet meeting is also expected to focus on the ramping up of emergency power as power-utility Eskom implemented stage six load-shedding."
