Citizens Corner: Loadshedding vs Load Reduction
Manage episode 445403976 series 2915031
This past weekend, Eskom marked 200 days without load shedding. The power utility predicts that this milestone may result in a 2% GDP growth boost due to improved power reliability. However, many citizens around the country have shared their disgruntlement on this milestone not reflecting their lived experiences.
Some of our listeners have shared they have experienced load reduction on a daily basis. Some of the challenges facing regional utility operators include illegal connections and excessive demand in specific neighborhoods in cities. Is load reduction the new normal? Will we continue to entrench energy inequality?
Guest: Miriam Nodembeloni - Chairperson of the Luvuvhu Energy Forum
Guest: Vally Padayachee - Power & Energy Expert and a former executive manager of Eskom and a former senior executive of City Power JHB
