Izinsuku ezimnyama nezimnyama ziseza njengoba iNational Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) igunyaze imihlahlandlela emisha, evumela u-Eskom ukuthi aqalise ukucisha ugesi kusukela esigabeni 1 kuya ku-16.
I-National Rationalized Specifications Association (NRS) ithumele uhlelo olusha kwa-Nersa ukuze lugunyazwe ngoMeyi 2023.
UVally Padayachee, usihlalo wekomidi lokuphatha leNRS Association, uthe imihlahlandlela iyadingeka ukusiza ukuvimbela ukucisha kuzwelonke noma ukuwa kwegridi kagesi ngokuphelele.
Izinguquko nezithuthukisi ezifakwe kulolu shicilelo lwesithathu ziwukuhlanganiswa kwezigaba zokucisha ugesi zibe yisistimu eyodwa kusukela esigabeni 1 kuya ku-16, kukhawulelwe wonke amalayisensi okusebenzisa lolu hlelo njengoba kubalulwe kule mithetho yokusebenza, noma ukwazi ukuchazela iNersa ukuthi kungani. abakwenzi nokuthi uhlelo lwabo oluqondile lusahambisana kanjani nezimiso ezikhona lapha.
Izinguquko kukhodi zihlanganisa:
- Ukuhlanganiswa kwezigaba zokucisha ugesi zibe yisistimu eyodwa kusukela kuSigaba 1 kuya ku-16;
- Ukucaciswa kwezindlela zokusetha izisekelo zamakhasimende okunciphisa;
- Ukulawulwa okwengeziwe kokuthi ukucishwa kukagesi kanye nokuncishiswa kukagesi kunqunywa futhi kwenziwa kanjani ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukuzinza kwegridi futhi kunikeze isiqiniseko esithe xaxa kumakhasimende ancishiswayo;
- Ukunikeza amakhasimende ancishisiwe ilungelo lokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwempahla ngo-10% njalo ngezigaba ezimbili zokucishwa kukagesi, kuze kufike esigabeni se-10, 50 % womthwalo wawo, noma ukuya emithwalweni ebalulekile, kunokuba aphoqwe imithwalo ebalulekile ngemva kweSigaba 4;
- Ukucaciswa kwezidingo zokuthobela kanye nokubika (okujwayelekile kanye nesikhathi sangempela); futhi
- Isiqondiso sokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bemitha ehlakaniphile ukuze kwehliswe umthelela wokucishwa kukagesi kumakhasimende.
Nokho, ngoLwesihlanu okhulumela u-Eskom uDaphne Mokwena umemezele ukuthi ukunqanyulwa kukagesi kusazomiswa kuze kube kuphuma isaziso.
“Lokhu kuwumphumela wokuzinzile kwekhono lokukhiqiza elitholakalayo, izimali ezanele zezimo eziphuthumayo, kanye nesidingo esisesilinganisweni esilindelwe ngesonto elizayo,” kusho uMokwena. “U-Eskom uzohlinzeka ngohlelo olusha ngoLwesihlanu noma ukhulume nanoma yiziphi izinguquko ezibalulekile uma kwenzeka,” kusho uMokwena.
