"Cabinet has approved that aside critical agencies, all other MMDA's must budget for electricity bills" - John Jinapor, Energy Minister.

Electricity and Energy Minister, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa says Eskom is doing its best to manage the national grid as demand for energy increases during winter. This after the power utility implemented stage two rolling blackouts yesterday. This due to a combination of factors, including delays in returning generation units from planned maintenance, unexpected capacity losses, and high-than-expected demand. Despite this, Ramokgopa says Eskom's power system is in a significantly stronger position than it was during the same period last year. He briefed the media earlier in Pretoria ...

The Energy Minister says new rules for the electricity sector can't come soon enough. The Electricity Authority's proposing changes to give independent power companies the same access to prices and hedge contracts. Simon Watts hopes that will create a more level playing field. Power companies are hiking prices, and Watts told Mike Hosking things could get worse as we head into winter. He says conditions are dry, lake levels are lower than they were this time last year, and we still have a gas shortage. Watts says the situation is acute and he's worried.

I'm your host, Allen Hall, and I'll be joined by my Uptime co host, After these news headlines, France is making waves in offshore wind development, announcing plans to tender for 9. 2 gigawatts of projects in the coming months. This includes two fixed and three floating wind farms to be built off the coast of the Ficon, Brittany, the Gasconia Gulf, and the southern Mediterranean. These installations are part of France's ambitious goal to have 45 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2050. Francis, Energy Minister, emphasized the importance of these projects for the industrial value chain, urging companies to maintain their local presence for turbine manufacturing and installation. Crossing the Atlantic, Hydro Québec and Lyons, de l'Energie de l'Est. has unveiled a plan for a new wind farm in eastern Quebec. The project, which could generate up to one gigawatt, represents a three billion dollar investment in the region and spans over 700 square kilometers. This development also includes First Nations marking a step towards economic reconciliation. The project aligns with Hydro Quebec's strategic shift towards collaborating with communities from the outset. In the United States,

The Energy Minister says he's focused on making sure Kiwis pay reasonable prices for power. The Government's released its Policy Statement on electricity - outlining the role of the Government and the Electricity Authority. Simeon Brown says their role is ensuring correct market settings - and enabling private investment. He says the Authority's job is driving a more competitive sector that avoids excessive prices. Brown told Francesca Rudkin they don't want the Authority concerning themselves with things they don't need to. “The Electricity Authority needs to ensure that they are focused on competition, affordability and security of supply, and that they're not focused on what type of fuel is actually being used.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Entirely avoidable, this is the conclusion of a report into a collapsed pylon that cut power to thousands of Northland businesses causing economic losses of up to 80 million dollars. The much anticipated Electricty Authority report, was ordered by the Energy Minister in the wake of the incident. It also found that the grid operator Transpower had been warned contractor maintenance crews needed more training but it did nothing. Northland reporter Peter de Graaf gauged the reactions from people affected by the outage.

The Energy Minister has been quick to criticise Transpower's conduct that led to the collapse of a Northland power pylon. A new report by the Electricity Authority revealed one of the company's senior engineers had warned crews doing foundation work had knowledge gaps before the pylon toppled in June. Minister Simeon Brown says this failure was 'unacceptable' and 'avoidable'. "Ultimately, Transpower didn't do anything in relation to addressing those concerns in 2021 - and that has led to what happened in Northland in June this year."

Shane Jones says "structural change" to the energy sector is definitely on the agenda following the closure of two central North Island mills.  Winstone Pulp has confirmed it's closing its two mills near Ohakune, with 230 people set to lose their jobs.  Jones says the Government can't control factors like global commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, and global shipping logistics.  But the Regional Development and Associate Energy Minister told Mike Hosking the power of large "gentailers" needs to be broken up to make energy prices more competitive.  He says the aluminium sector is looking towards importing, there's uncertainty for corn growers, and the country's biggest gas user Methanex has been facing issues.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Energy Minister says the Government will make sure the energy sector is more competitive - and better for customers. Cabinet has agreed to import more Liquefied Natural Gas and fast-track reforms to make it easier to build renewable energy farms in light of sky-high power prices pressuring big industry users. Minister Simeon Brown says more competition and regular reporting will stop companies from price-gouging.  "I share Shane Jones's concerns - I share his concerns around excessive prices and the impact that they're having."

The Energy Minister says rising power costs are because of low supply. Heavy business users have warned spiking prices threaten their viability - including timber mills facing possible closure. The Electricity Authority and Commerce Commission has been asked to look at whether power companies are price gouging. The Government is also looking to import more liquefied natural gas. Simeon Brown says the last Government's ban on gas exploration was detrimental.

Sierra Leone's Energy Minister, Kanja Sesay announced on Friday that he is resigning from the Maada Bio regime because of the alleged failure to pay outstanding debts owed to the Turkish Karpowership contracted to sell electricity to Freetown residents. Kanja Sesay's resignation was later followed by Maada Bio's announcement that the energy ministry has now been placed under his direct supervision as president. These dramatic developments came after the Africanist Press Podcast revealed how political leaders of the All Peoples Congress (APC) and Sierra Leone Peoples Party (SLPP) use shell companies registered and operating out of British Virgin Islands, Mauritius, Zambia, Lebanon, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, and Kenya to impose fictitious debts on Sierra Leone using the promise of providing reliable electricity that is still unavailable to citizens. In this episode, we examine the reported "resignation" of Kanja Sesay, pointing out its relationship to the organized corporate corruption associated with the Western Area Power Generation Project, and how Ernest Bai Koroma and Julius Maada Bio, acting on behalf British companies and American corporations, are responsible for over US$500 million in manufactured electricity debts arising from the Western Area Power Generation Project between 2013 and 2023. Thus, we highlight that Kanja Sesay's "resignation" is part of an organized effort of SLPP and APC politicians to cover-up one of the biggest corruption scandals in Sierra Leone's energy sector involving leading politicians and international financial institutions. This episode is part of the VOICE FROM EXILE commentary series of the Africanist Press.
