3 hrs agoPresident Cyril Ramaphosa has reaffirmed that Eskom will remain the backbone of South Africa’s electricity supply, even as the country accelerates its shift toward renewable energy. During a visit to the Kusile Power Station, he highlighted steady improvements in electricity generation and grid stability, signaling cautious optimism after years of power shortages.
Ramaphosa addressed growing concerns that renewable energy could overshadow Eskom’s role. Instead, he emphasized that renewables will complement—not replace—the utility. Eskom, he noted, will continue as the country’s principal electricity generator while evolving beyond its traditional reliance on coal and nuclear power. This shift reflects a broader strategy to modernize the energy sector without destabilizing existing supply systems.
Crucially, the president called for Eskom to actively participate in the renewable energy space, urging it to diversify and invest in cleaner technologies. At the same time, the utility is expected to play a leading role in future nuclear energy development, ensuring a balanced and reliable energy mix.
As South Africa navigates its energy transition, the message is clear: innovation and sustainability are essential, but Eskom remains central to powering the nation’s present and future.
