I agree with this analysis by Prof @AntonEberhard. In my view, the draft IRP 2023 is a shoddy piece of work, lacking in maturity and depth. SA has a wealth of power system modelling competencies which have clearly been ignored in the preparation of this draft IRP. How this work was approved by the Cabinet for commencement of the public and stakeholder consultation process is beyond me.

[Anton Eberhard @AntonEberhard]

SA’s draft Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), published today for public comment, is an admission of failure around eliminating load-shedding and it fails to fulfil its declared purpose of ensuring electricity security while minimizing environmental impacts and the cost of supply /1

See you on Saturday BoJo @BorisJohnson when you will be watching Siya, the team and I hoist high Webb Ellis Cup. A STERLING showing once again by the @Springboks. Our national teams have just been doing amazingly on the international stage. #WALvRSA #RWC2019 #StrongerTogether

My Uber driver who picked me up from the Airport in Durban stopped at the garage to fill up. He poured R80 worth of gas. Just before he started his car, I told him I wanted to fill his tank for him.
Him: How much?
Me: However much it costs.
Him: Are you sure?
Me: Yes.

The #213 semi-final of 1999 has finally been topped.
This is the greatest ODI ever seen.
Two ties.
All in a final!
Can't beat that.
Can not.

Los Angeles about to sign a 25 year power purchase agreement for solar PV under 2 USc/kWh and battery storage for 1.3 c/kWh. So - dispatchable power for the equivalent ZAR 50c/kWh in SA, i.e. half Eskom https://t.co/l8LXVjls5u

@chrisyelland @DPE_ZA Ha ha, no I didn’t mean to that level. Between PG and the boards, they need to find leaders who can take on these “impossible” jobs. Any volunteers?

[Matthew le Cordeur @lecordeur]

Eskom and SAA CEOs have resigned in quick succession. Both had impossible jobs. Over to you Pravin. Our country is depending on it. https://t.co/9f1PnZfA2n
