Minerals Council South Africa, Business Unity South Africa and individual mining companies have applauded the support that Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter has given to the lifting of the licencing exemption threshold for electricity generation to 50 MW. During the ENSafrica webinar on February 2, De Ruyter backed lifting the threshold from 1 MW to 50 MW, following a report by Meridian Economics and EE Business Intelligence, which showed that the relaxation could release 5 000 MW or more additional energy capacity within five years.
