The Minister of Energy and Electricity, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, is working with the South African Local Government Association and local governments to combat rising electricity prices. The Minister emphasized the need for a strategy to restrain skyrocketing prices and collaborate closely with Eskom, local governments, and SALGA. Eskom has also made significant progress in the country’s electricity management, with 121 consecutive days of continuous power supply since March 26th, a milestone of 35,000MW of available capacity, and 87 days of steady supply throughout the winter season.
