Die minister van Energie en Elektrisiteit, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, sê sy departement het in samewerking met Eskom, 'n gestruktureerde program ontwikkel om ladingvermindering uit te skakel. Ramokgopa sê ladingvermindering word nie gedoen weens 'n tekort aan opgewekte krag nie, maar 'n as 'n maatreël om die netwerk plek-plek te beskerm wanneer verspreiding oorbelas word. Volgens Ramogkopa is meer as 380 000 slimmeters landwyd geïnstalleer, terwyl meer as 199 000 verbruikers van die ladingsverminderingskedules verwyder is:

'n Nasionale uitvoerende komiteelid van die ANC, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, sê die kwessie van ekonomiese groei en die nastrewing van swart ekonomiese bemagtiging is nie onversoenbaar nie. Hy sê die besluit van president Donald Trump om 'n straftarief van 30-persent op Suid-Afrikaanse uitvoere in te stel, het niks te doen met 'n beleid soos Swart Ekonomiese Bemagtiging of die onteiening van grond sonder vergoeding nie. Ramokgopa sê die faktore wat groei in Suid-Afrika ondermyn, sluit nie Swart Ekonomiese Bemagtiging in nie:
Die G20 se Energie-oordrags-werkgroep in Sun City, Noordwes, is aangespoor om klimaatbefondsing te vermeerder om die energiekrisis te beëindig. Die minister van Elektrisiteit en Energie, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, bepleit dat beloftes verander na gekoördineerde beleggings. Hy vra ook befondsing van transmissie, verspreiding en buigsame opwekking, sowel as ondersteuning vir klein, medium en mikro organisasies en projekte in 'n vroeë stadium. Ramokgopa beklemtoon klimaatbefondsing moet inklusief word en moet diegene wat dit die nodigste het teen die vereiste skaal en spoed bereik:

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 ...
Die minister van Elektrisiteit en Energie, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa daag die opvatting uit dat Suid-Afrika se afhanklikheid van steenkool nie strook met sy klimaatsverbintenisse nie. Hoewel steenkool verantwoordelik is vir die opwekking van meer as 80-persent van die land se elektrisiteit, is die regering verbind om na skoner alternatiewe energiebronne soos son- en windkrag oor te skakel. Ramokgopa sê met die regte tegnologie kan steenkool steeds tot die land se energiemengsel bydra:
Eskom has promised South Africans a stable electricity supply in the winter months to come. Speaking at a media briefing at Megawatt Park on Monday, energy minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa said the interventions that have been implemented at Eskom have put the utility in a position where driving energy stability has taken priority.

Suid-Afrika se elektrisiteit-minister van Elektrisiteit en Energie, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, sê die land benodig 440-miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand om die elektrisiteitsnetwerk te moderniseer en uit te brei. Die plan sluit die opgradering van transmissie-infrastruktuur in om energie-sekerheid te verbeter en hernubare krag te ondersteun. Ramokgopa het aan die media gesê die staat se finansiële beperkings beteken die regering moes hom wend tot onafhanklike verspreidingsvoorsieners om die nodige opgraderings te befonds.
Die ANC se nasionale uitvoerende komitee-lid, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, sê die party herbevestig sy onwrikbare verbintenis om die toestand van plaaslike regering te verander en die lewering van basiese dienste, veral toegang tot water en sanitasie, te versnel. Hy het die media op die tweede dag van die ANC se vier-dae lange Nasionale Uitvoerende Komitee vergadering in Boksburg, Ekurhuleni meegedeel dat hulle as die regerende party nie die vertroue van die mense as vanselfsprekend beskou nie. Hy het gesê vertroue word verdien deur beslissende optrede, politieke aanspreeklikheid en die herstel van funksionele munisipaliteite:
ActionSA eis aanspreeklikheid vir korrupsie by Eskom van die minister van Elektrisiteit, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, en Eskom se voorsitter, Mteto Nyati. Die ouditeur-generaal het reuse-verliese uitgelig weens ongerymde besteding en bedrog, wat bydra het tot die skerp styging in kragtariewe van 135-persent binne agt jaar. Dit het huishoudings en sake-ondernemings swaar getref. Alan Beesley van ActionSA vra dringende hervormings, die verwydering van onbevoegde uitvoerende hoofde, en regstappe teen korruptes:
In Augustus verlede jaar het dr. Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, minister van elektrisiteit en energie, 'n nuwe toetsprojek aangekondig om die oorweldigende munisipale skuld aan Eskom aan te spreek. Antoinette Slabbert, senior verslaggewer by Rapport, deel haar insigte oor die projek. Volg RSG Geldsake op Twitter
Die minister van Elektrisiteit, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa sê Eskom se werksverrigting het verbeter, wat gelei het tot meer as 260 dae sonder beurtkrag, verbeterde aanlegprestasie en miljarde rande aan diesel-besparings. Die kragvoorsiener het 'n netto verlies voor belasting van sowat 25,5 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand aangeteken, 'n verbetering op die vorige boekjaar se 34,6 miljard. Ramokgopa sê Eskom is minder op diesel aangewese, maar munisipaliteite se skuld het tot 74 miljard rand gestyg:
Die DA versoek die minister van Elektrisiteit, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, om voorrang te gee aan privaat sektor-gedrewe energieopwekking eerder as die besteding van 90 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand aan die uitbreiding van steenkoolaanlegte. DA-woordvoerder, Kevin Mileham, wys op inisiatiewe met hernubare energie en battery-opberging as bekostigbare alternatiewe om die netwerk te bestendig. Mileham waarsku teen die finansiële en omgewingsgevolge indien die leeftyd van steenkoolaanlegte verleng word. Hy vra vir volhoubare energie-oplossings om Suid-Afrika se energietoekoms te beveilig:

Die Nasionale Transmissie-onderneming Suid-Afrika is amptelik van stapel gestuur, ná die uitreiking van sleutellisensies deur die Nasionale Energiereguleerder. Die Eskom-filiaal sal op die uitbreiding van die netwerk vir hernubare energieprojekte fokus. Die minister van Elektrisiteit en Energie, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, het planne aangekondig om 122 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand oor 'n vyf-jaar tydperk te bestee om 30-gigawatt hernubare energie aan te sluit om billike toegang en mededingende elektrisiteitsmarkte te bevorder:
Die minister van Elektrisiteit en Energie, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, sê Suid-Afrika se planne met kernkrag sal aan bykomende openbare raadpleging onderwerp word. Hy het die media ingelig ‘n vorige plasing in die Staatskoerant oor die kernkragbouprogram word herroep om meer tyd toe te laat vir insette deur die publiek om regsuitdagings aan te pak en deursigtigheid te verbeter. Volgens Ramokgopa behels die hersiene proses uitgebreide insette deur die publiek om groter aanspreeklikheid te verseker in die verkryging van die kernkragprogram van 2 500-megawatt.
Die Suider-Afrikaanse Geloofsgemeenskappe se Omgewingsinstituut verwelkom die regering se besluit om die verkryging van kernenergie op te skort. Die minister van Elektrisiteit en Energie, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, het die terugtrekking aangekondig van die plan om 2 500 megawatt kernenergie te produseer. Die organisasie het die plan in die hof uitgedaag. Woordvoerder Francesca de Gasparis beskou die besluit as 'n oorwinning vir openbare deelname en demokratiese prosesse.

Die minister van Elektrisiteit, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, het aangekondig Suid-Afrika is reeds 54-dae sonder beurtkrag weens 'n verbetering in die energiebeskikbaarheidsfaktor. Dit het met nege-persentasiepunte verbeter tot 60,7-persent. Ramokgopa bevestig die onbeplande kapasiteitsverliesfaktor het van 35-persent, afgeneem tot 28-persent. Hy skryf die verbetering toe aan aggressiewe instandhoudingspogings, aangesien Eskom 'n drie-jaar-hoogtepunt in beplande instandhoudingswerk bereik het terwyl eenhede operasioneel gehou is.

Die minister van Elektrisiteit, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, het aangekondig Medupi se Eenheid 4 sal voor skedule sy bedrywighede hervat. Hy het tydens 'n besoek aan die kragstasie in Lephalale, Limpopo, gesê die regering het 'n tweedehandse kragopwekker van Nederland aangeskaf om met die herstelproses te help. Ramokgopa sê die stap is daarop gemik om opwekkingsvermoë meer kostedoeltreffend te bevorder en die voortdurende uitdaging van beurtkrag die hoof te bied:
Die DA waarsku oor 'n moontlike verkiesingskandaal met die minister van Elektrisiteit, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, en die Eskomraadsvoorsitter, Mteto Nyati, wat nie reageer op kommer oor beurtkragdeursigtigheid nie. Hulle beweer Eskom gebruik steeds oopsiklus-gasturbines en 'n gebrek aan duidelikheid oor dieselverkryging wek agterdog oor begrotingswanbestuur. Die party hou vol as beurtkrag terug is na die verkiesing sal dit 'n skandaal wees. Samantha Graham-Maré van die party vra 'n verandering van regering om die sektor se uitdagings te hanteer:
Die buurland se elektrisiteit-minister, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, het Eskom se plan aangekondig om 2 580 megawatt binne die volgende ses maande by die netwerk te voeg. Die minister sê dit sal vergemaklik word deur die terugkeer van eenhede by Koeberg, Medupi en Kusile. Ramokgopa het die privaat sektor erkenning gegee vir hul aggressiewe ontplooiing van sonkragstelsels, wat spanning op die netwerk verlig. Hy het ook komende nuts-skaal projekte uitgelig.
Eskom het verskeie ingrypings geïmplementeer om te help om die energiekrisis te beёindig. Die minister van elektrisiteit, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, het die media oor die energie-aksieplan ingelig en beklemtoon verskerpte instandhouding, die verkryging van onderdele en die benutting van die energie-oorlogskamer het bygedra om beurtkrag aan te pak. Ramokgopa beklemtoon egter Eskom is nie die enigste oplossing nie. Hy sê die nutsmaatskappy beplan om bewese kundigheid intern aan te stel en met die privaat sektor saam te werk.
Die buurland se minister van elektrisiteit, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, sê een van die stappe om die uitdagings by Eskom op te los, is om die prestasie van die steenkoolvloot aan te spreek. Ramokgopa het ook die dringendheid benadruk om verkrygings- en instandhoudingsprosesse vir opwekkingseenhede te versnel:
Electricity minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa today gave a briefing to the media on the Energy Action Plan.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse minister van elektrisiteit, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, sê Eskom-kragstasies se werkverrigting is bestendig en bereik ʼn hoogtepunt by 86,7 persent. Ramokgopa het die jongste oor die instelling van die Energie-aksieplan bekend gemaak. Medupi werk teen 80,7 persent en Lethabo teen 76,4 persent. Die minister sê kragstasies soos Duvha, Tutu's, Kahuna, Camden, Hendrina en Grootvlei verbeter teen ʼn positiewe koers:
Die buurland se elektrisiteit-minister, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, sê Eskom doen aggressiewe instandhouding en gevolglik is daar hierdie feestyd geen beurtkrag nie. Ramokgopa het in Pretoria verslag gedoen oor die instelling van die energie-aksieplan. Die beplande instandhouding is gemiddeld 8 000 megawatt. Volgens die minister mag Suid-Afrika moontlik twee weke lank geen beurtkrag ondervind nie aangesien talle maatskappye gedurende die feestyd gesluit is.
Die buurland se minister van elektrisiteit Kgosientsho Ramokgopa het onthul die breek van ‘n groep eenhede by Eskom het die verhoging van die beurtkragfase veroorsaak. Eskom moet beurtkrag noodgedwonge na fase drie verhoog, ten einde noodreserwes aan te vul met die oog op die nuwe week. Ramokgopa het die media toegespreek oor die vordering met die implementering van die Energie-aksieplan. Hy sê die onbeplande verlies aan kapasiteit was ‘n sleutel-bydraer tot die toename in beurtkrag:
