Outrage continues to pour over Eskom's decision to implement stage 6 rolling blackouts indefinitely. The Power Utility says this is due to eight generation unit breakdowns on Sunday afternoon resulting in customers being switched off the grip for a total of at least ten hours a day. For many businesses and residents, this is further compounded by continuous power cuts which come as a result of cable theft. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to energy expert, Ted Blom
Die Russiese minister van buitelandse is in Suid-Afrika. Die president breek sy stilte oor die kragkrisis by ANC byeenkomste in die Vrystaat en Kwazulu-Natal. Ons hoor wat die kragkenner Ted Blom dink van die jongste woelinge in die energiesektor.
Sommige lande van die Suider-Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsgemeenskap staar kragprobleme in die gesig, omdat hul interne kragopwekkingvermoëns nie aan die plaaslike vraag voldoen nie. Gevolglik sal hulle meeding om oortollige krag in die streek te bekom omdat sommige buurlande met kragopwekking sukkel. Zimbabwe het by Suid-Afrika aangesluit om elektrisiteit deur beurtkrag te rantsoeneer. Volgens die Namibiese Statistieke-agentskap is die meeste van Namibië se krag, 47,8 persent, teen Oktober van Zesco in Zambië verkry, gevolg deur Eskom-agentskappe in Suid-Afrika. Ted Blom, ‘n Suid-Afrikaanse energieknner sê aan Kosmos 94.1 Nuus hoe die SAOG-streek die krag-uitdaging moet hanteer.
Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan says the stage six rolling blackouts that Eskom has implemented are totally unacceptable and he's directed management and the Eskom board to meet and act with a great sense of urgency to end stage six. Gordhan says stage six is having a devastating impact on households, business and the entire economy. The minister says in a statement that the frequency of rolling blackouts is to some extent attributable to malfunctioning within Eskom's systems as well as sabotage. Gordhan has appealed to law enforcement agencies to have a stronger presence at power stations across the country. Meanwhile... Britain's secretary of State, Michael Gove has approved the first new UK coal mine in 30 years despite concerns about its climate impacts among Conservative MPs and experts. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to energy expert, Ted Blom and SABC UK correspondent, Laura Isherwood
South Africa's economy is reeling under the most severe electricity blackouts, with analysts saying there is a high likelihood that the country will be forced into stage 7 load shedding before the weekend. Energy Analyst, Ted Blom joins Business Day TV to make sense of South Africa's power crisis.
‘n Energiekenner sê die opening van die Langer Heinrich-myn is goeie nuus vir Namibië. Daar verwag dat die Langer Heinrich-myn minstens 4 persent tot die totale wêreldwye uraanproduksie sal bydra. Sy eienaar, die Australiese uraanprodusent Paladin Energy, sê die myn is op koers om 'n beduidende speler in die nabye toekoms te wees. Die maatskappy sal na verwagting in die eerste kwartaal van 2024 met produksie in Namibië begin nadat sy myn in 2018 onder sorg-en-instandhouding geplaas is weens 'n afname in uraanmarktoestande. Ted Blom, energiekenner in Suid-Afrika, gee sy reaksie aan Kosmos 94.1 Nuus.
Waterstof word hoofsaaklik gebruik in olie-raffinaderye of om chemikalieë soos kunsmis te maak. Die meeste waterstof in die wêreld vandag word gemaak van aardgas of steenkool – metodes wat verband hou met groot koolstofdioksied-vrystellings. Ontwikkelde lande soek dus eerder groen waterstof, vervaardig met hernubare elektrisiteit soos son- en windkrag wat moontlik ‘n gulde geleentheid vir ontwikkelende lande kan wees en een wat Namibië wil gebruik van maak. Ted Blom, energiekenner in Suid-Afrika gee sy aan Kosmos 94.1 Nuus.
Suid-Afrikaanse energiekenner Ted Blom sê die nuut-aangestelde Eskom-direksie moet ontbind word. Dit volg nadat die regering die aanstelling van die nuwe raad aangekondig het. Blom sê daar is 'n konflik van belange in die direksie.
Eskom skitter spreekwoordelik met beurtkrag. Daar word berig dat die EU op die oomblik in gesprek is met die Suid-Afrikaanse kragvoorsiener om te sien hoe beurtkrag hanteer word. Die EU sal moontlik energie-tekorte die komende winter ervaar met voortdurende sanksies teen Rusland en Rusland wat ophou gas voorsien het. Die Suid-Afrikaanse energie-kenner Ted Blom sê dis verbasend omdat Eskom nie eers goed is met beurtkrag nie.
Waar daar ‘n rokie is, is daar ‘n vuurtjie, meen die Suid-Afrikaanse energie-kenner Ted Blom. Hy het met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gepraat oor die moontlikheid dat daar doelbewus beurtkrag in Suid-Afrika toegepas word, om meer geld te maak. Hy voeg by dat daar vrae is oor hoekom daar genoeg krag is om na Namibië en ander buurlande uit te voer.
Energy strategist Ted Blom is not convinced renewable energy is the solution to South Africa's current electricity crisis.
Die buurland se beurtkrag bly in die nuus. Eskom sê hy sal voortgaan met fase vyf-beurtkrag, met die moontlikheid om teen vandag een fase te verminder. Volgens data het Suid-Afrika 1 677 uur se beurtkrag gehad vergeleke met verlede jaar se 1 153 uur en 844 uur in 2020. Ted Blom, 'n energie-ontleder in Suid-Afrika, gesels met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus en sê die koste van die beurtkrag beloop 600 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand.
Die Namibiese minister van internasionale betrekkinge, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, sê een van die bydraes van Namibië om die huidige globale uitdagings aan te spreek, is die produksie van groen waterstof. Volgens haar sal die produksie van groen waterstof in 2026 begin, met die aanleg wat 300 000 ton groen waterstof per jaar sal produseer. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met Ted Blom, 'n energie-ontleder in Suid-Afrika, gesels om uit te vind of Namibië die vaardighede het om hierdie projek tot voordeel van alle Namibiërs te maak.

The focus Eskom's woes has sharpened as the state-owned utility continues to implement load-shedding. Unreliable power supply remains South Africa's largest growth inhibitor, according to PwC, which estimates that blackouts reduced SA real GDP growth by 3 percentage points in 2021. Business Day TV spoke to independent energy analyst Ted Blom about the situation and unpacked what can be done to fix the problems.
Eskom CEO André de Ruyter, says R626 million has already been spent on diesel for the month of April. Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter says the plan is to drop load-shedding to stage 2 after the evening peak, with it possibly being lifted for the weekend after the Friday evening peak. Eskom says it had to implement stage 4 load-shedding on Tuesday after two units tripped. Speaking at a briefing updating on the power supply situation, De Ruyter said several units have been returned, but there was still a loss of 270MW due to maintenance on Cahora Bassa. Energy Expert; Ted Blom says Eskom CEO André de Ruyter is out of order and incompetent.
Ons vra vir Ted Blom hoe naby Eskom aan 'n algehele ineenstorting is.

Public Enterprises Minister, Pravin Gordhan, says Eskom is likely to downgrade loadshedding to Stage Three tonight - and move to Stage Two for the rest of the week. This follows the power utility's announcement of the implementation of Stage Four loadshedding, which started at midday today. Eskom says this was due to a shortage of generation capacity and units tripping at several power stations. No loadshedding is expected over the weekend. We spoke to Energy expert Ted Blom joins us on the line
Beurtkrag is ‘n realiteit wat elke Suid-Afrikaanse besigheid moet bestuur. Suid-Afrikaanse minister van openbare ondernemings Pravin Gordhan sal beurtkrag straks van fase 4 tot fase 3 afgradeer word. Teen Vrydag behoort dit na fase 2-beurtkrag terug te keer, maar terwyl ondernemings hul besighede probeer herstel, word dit deur beurtkrag geraak. Ted Blom, ‘n energie-kenner in Suid-Afrika sê Eskom is oor die muur.

Energy expert and mining consultant Ted Blom is never one to shirk from controversy and hasn't been doing so recently. While South African's shudder at the thought of load shedding, Blom reckons that Eskom isn't telling us the entire truth. He spoke to BizNews founder Alec Hogg about the reality of load shedding in SA. Blom tweeted earlier in the week that there was a shortfall of 5,136 megawatts. Blom says this would require Level 6 load-shedding to handle this.

Die 15 persent verhoging wat deur Eskom in Suid-Afrika bekom is sal ook ‘n wesenlike impak op Namibië hê. Die buurland se Nasionale Energiereguleerder het vroeër ingestem tot Eskom se versoek vir 'n verhoging van meer as 15 persent. Dit sal die kragvoorsiener in staat stel om nagenoeg 10 miljard Namibiese doller van kraggebruikers, wat Namibië insluit, te verhaal. Ted Blom 'n Energie Kenner in die buurland het dit so uiteengesit
Energy expert Ted Blom says South Africans could possibly face stage six or even stage eight load shedding according to Eskom’s system outlook. Eskom is under severe pressure after breakdowns at the Tutuka, Majuba, Kusile, Matimba and Duvha power stations. This added to the breakdowns at the Kriel and Kendal power stations, which led to the current cycle of load shedding.
Kenners voorspel dat verbruikers hulle moet voorberei op groter stygings in die olieprys wat dus die brandstofprys verder sal opstoot die jaar. Pryse het in beide Namibië en Suid-Afrika om middernag gestyg. Ons gesels vanoggend met Ted Blom 'n energie kenner in die buurland vir ‘n paar idees en oplossings...
Die onafhanklike energiekenner Ted Blom sê die verhoging van meer as 15 persent in die elektrisiteitstarief wat binnekort in die buurland in werking gaan tree, is belaglik. Die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Energiereguleerder, Nersa, het bevestig dat 'n ooreenkoms met Eskom bereik is ingevolge waarvan hy sy inkomste met 10 miljard Namibiese doller mag verhoog. Om dít te bereik sal die kragtarief oor die volgende boekjaar met 15,63 persent verhoog word. Blom sê die styging is onregverdig teenoor verbruikers...

Fase-2 beurtkrag sal tot Sondagaand in Suid-Afrika duur. Daar was baie hoop toe die kragvoorsiener onder nuwe bestuur geplaas is maar, die uitdagings blyk om eenvoudig nie op te hou nie. Ted Blom, die Suid-Afrikaanse Energiekenner meen ook dit is onmoontlik om te sê. Hy het met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gepraat...
Suid-Afrika gaan gebuk onder onbeheerde kragonderbrekings en beurtkrag en die nasionale kragverskaffer, Eskom wat ook ander lande in die streek soos Namibië, Zambië en Zimbabwe van krag voorsien, sukkel om voor te bly. Eskom ervaar reeds vir jare uitdagings met ontoereikende fasiliteite en bewerings van wanbestuur. Daar is egter ander moontlikhede soos byvoorbeeld sonkrag. Volgende week word daar 'n virtuele Afrika sonkrag konferensie aangebied van 16 tot 20 November. Die Suid-Afrikaanse Energiekenner, Ted Blom sê ongelukkig sal sonkrag nie 'n wesenlike oplossing wees vir Eskom se probleme nie.
Consumers should brace themselves for many more tarrif annual increases of 25% per annum. This according to Energy analyst Ted Blom who says The Eskom campaign to increase tariffs to what it terms cost-reflective has been ongoing since 2008.

Kosmos 94.1 — Eskom in Suid-Afrika gaan ‘n opdraande stryd voer om sy skuld af te bring na 200 miljard Namibiese doller wat die helfte is van sy huidige skuldlas van 450 miljard Namibiese doller. Die Hoofbestuurder van Eskom, André De Ruyter, sê die kragvoorsiener stel maatreëls in om sy skuld te verlig, insluitend samesprekings met die Nasionale Energiereguleerder oor tariefverhogings. Die buurland se Energiekenner, Ted Blom sê hy is nie beïndruk met die maatreëls wat aangekondig is nie.

Energy expert Ted Blom has told Radio Islam Eskom is in a worse position than it’s ever been in the last two years as the country battles the COVID-19 pandemic.
Energy expert, Ted Blom, says government is lacking the political will to fix Eskom's power capacity woes. This follows bouts of loadshedding in the new year - and substation maintenance issues causing power disruptions. Eskom board chairperson, Jabu Mabuza, resigned on Friday after admitting his failure to keep a promise that there will be no load shedding before the 13th of this month. Blom says Eskom's leadership aren't fully equipped to run the power utility
How deep do the effects of corruption run within Eskom? Who are the people who have led this march to ruin? What does that mean for the ordinary taxpayer? Ted Blom is back to untangle the different 'stages' of what feels like Eskom's inevitable demise. From being a crown jewel in the State's portfolio, Eskom is now a burdensome noose around the neck of all of South Africa's citizenry. How long will it take Eskom to get their act together? Is there light at the end of the tunnel, or is loadshedding part of a 'dark' future for our country?

Eskom has announced that it will be to implementing stage two rotational load-shedding from 09:00 until 23:00. The power utility says this is in order to protect the power system from a total collapse. In a statement, Eskom says the power supply constraint is caused by five generating units that are unavailable due to boiler tube leaks among other things. We spoke to energy expert Ted Blom and DA Shadow Minister of Public Enterprises, Natasha Mazzone...
CliffCentral.com — Unmitigated corruption, deep-seated mismanagement and consumers getting sucked into higher tariffs - what exactly is going on at Eskom? Energy advisor Ted Blom is on a quest to make more citizens aware of what is happening at the power utility. In this conversation with Gareth, he explains why he thinks Eskom is on the verge of collapse - both operationally and financially - and is seeking to recoup its losses by further burdening the citizens of South Africa.
Energy expert Ted Blom says the government must stop interfering in the operations of Eskom. Blom says that the power utility will start implementing load shedding later this month. He says the company is using poor quality coal and is not mantaining its systems. He spoke to Sakina Kamwendo.
JOHANNESBURG — Energy and mining expert Ted Blom always offers rather different opinions on what's gone wrong at Eskom. He touts himself as being energy agnostic and has controversial views about the sustainability of clean sources such as solar and wind in a country like South Africa. Nevertheless, Blom has some interesting insights and experience with regard to what's gone wrong with Eskom's coal supplies of late. Coal supply has become a major factor behind the recent bouts of load shedding in the country, and Blom doesn't hold back any punches in this interview. Take a listen... - Gareth van Zyl

Die NERSA-onderhandelings begin vandag in die Wes-Kaap en sal landwyd tot in Mei plaasvind wanneer die laaste verhore in Gauteng sal geskied. Die onafhanklike energie kenner, Ted Blom, sal 80-duisend Suid-Afrikaanse verbruikers tydens die gesprekke verteenwoordig. NERSA hou vol dat die sittings niks te make het met die beoogde 33 % tariefverhoging waarvoor ESKOM by NERSA aansoek gedoen het nie, maar dat dit sal fokus op maniere waarop ESKOM sy sowat 60-miljard rand tekort, kan verhaal. Blom het Monitor ingelig wat ons die komende weke te wagte kan wees...
An independent energy expert says although he welcomes the appointment of a new Eskom board, he is concerned that most of the board members do not have experience in the energy sector. Jabu Mabuza will head up the board appointed by government in the hope of restoring confidence in the parastatal. The announcement came after a meeting with President Jacob Zuma, Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown and Minister of Finance Malusi Gigaba on Friday. The board has been instructed to appoint a permanent CEO and remove executives facing allegations of corruption and acts of impropriety. Our presenter Elvis Presslin spoke to independent energy expert Ted Blom.
Die nuwe minister van Energie, David Mahlobo, het verlede week opdrag gegee dat die geintegreerde Hulpbronne-plan afgehandel moet word. Dit is die bloudruk wat die land se toekomstige energiebehoeftes en -oplossings sal bepaal. Die energiekenner, Ted Blom, sê egter die plan wat elke jaar hersien moet word, is laas in 2010 behoorlik gedoen.
Moneyweb Radio — Ted Blom – energy director, OUTA.
Eskom se gebrek aan deursigtigheid is Vrydag gekritiseer tydens openbare verhore wat deur die Nasionale Energie-reguleerder gelei is. Die direkteur van Energie by OUTA, Ted Blom, sê Eskom kon nie syfers gee oor hoeveel steenkool en water hulle gebruik by die verskeie kragopwekkingsfasiliteite nie.
Pressure group OUTA has expressed serious concerns, over this week's Supreme Court of Appeal ruling that set aside the Port Elizabeth business consortium's case against NERSA and Eskom. The case involved a challenge against NERSA and Eskom to ensure they operate within the governance and rules required of them in the Electricity Regulations, which the applicants believe has not been the case during recent electricity tariff hike applications. OUTA's Ted Blom says it's disappointed by Nersa siding with Eskom instead of shielding consumers from excessive tariff hikes which have seen electricity prices soar by over 500 percent since 2007...
Civil action organisation, OUTA, says it has requested from Eskom the Denton report. This after Eskom held a media briefing earlier today, announcing that it will publish the contents of the 'sanitised' report into the state of the power utility. Outa and the DA are among the organisations which will be given access to the report, which was commissioned by Eskom over two years ago, but not made public. The investigation cost Eskom 20-million rand. Director of Energy at OUTA, Ted Blom spoke to Tsepiso Makwetla
