Mozambique to provide even more electricity to South Africa.
As part of Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa’s strategy to address South Africa’s energy problem, Eskom is expected to receive an additional 1,000 megawatts of gas-fired energy from Mozambique.
Ramokgopa has asked Mozambique to assist in stabilizing the electricity grid as the nation struggles with frequent power outages.
The power company will be able to minimize load-shedding by one stage thanks to the enhanced supply of energy.

According to Business Live, 90% of the country’s electricity is provided by Eskom, however due to its poorly maintained coal-fired power stations, the company frequently implements load-shedding at little notice.
“Eskom and its Mozambique equivalent EDM [Electricidade de Moçambique] will sit and engage on [outstanding] issues. But what is important for us is that as we resolve all of the above, it’s important that we are able to get additional megawatts onto the grid,”
“It’s new megawatts, so the grid will get the benefit of an additional 100MW. I did say to the country that in our effort to resolve the load shedding question, we are searching for each and every megawatt available, and of course the Mozambicans have come to the party [and] they are aiding us to address that.” Ramokgopa said.
This meeting is a follow up to a previous bilateral engagement that explored the possibility of securing energy from Mozambique in the short to medium term. pic.twitter.com/AGrV84j3sg
