And then you reflect on the fact that it is generated by one company. One company, that if it fails becomes a spectacular calamity for the country, then you will realise that there is a pressing need for change,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This risk that we have, if you look at other countries like China, it has a number of state-owned electricity-generating companies that even compete among themselves, leading to prices going down. And that is the future that we should begin to imagine,&#8221; said Ramaphosa.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to propose that the country should consider reducing the risk posed by having only one power utility.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The risk that the country could be exposed to\u2026 for much of its history, this model that we are pursuing has worked, but we are today experiencing a great risk in that we are placing the sole responsibility for electricity generation in one company. That is why comrade Gwede (Mantashe) flirted with the idea [of considering establishing] a second one (power utility) which can be owned by the state. I thought this was a great idea,&#8221; said Ramaphosa.<\/p>\n<p>He also lamented Eskom&#8217;s ailing infrastructure, saying it posed a great risk and led to rolling blackouts over the past couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p>He said:<\/p>\n<p>Mantashe, who was also at the SACP conference, told News24 he had indeed suggested a second power utility and that it was &#8220;receiving serious considering&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;No candle-holding exercise&#8217;: EFF vows to bring country to standstill with national shutdown<\/p>\n<p>At its last meeting, the ANC&#8217;s national executive committee (NEC) proposed a raft of changes in the government&#8217;s day-to-day running of the ailing state-owned enterprise.<\/p>\n<p>Calls were also made to speed up the establishment of alternative energy sources and accelerate the procurement of battery storage.<\/p>\n<p>The NEC said the ANC-led government should speed up reforms in the energy sector, allowing for more power to be introduced into the national grid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
