IPPs accuse Eskom of blocking fair access to the grid & Govt weighs further relief on oil shock

Stephen Grootes speaks to Tommy Garner, management committee member of the South African Independent Power Producers Association about escalating tensions between independent power producers and Eskom over control of grid connections. At the centre of the dispute is a tightening bottleneck in transmission capacity, particularly in renewable-rich provinces, and growing concern that Eskom’s dual role as both market participant and gatekeeper is distorting fair access for private developers. In other interviews, John Loos, Independent Economist talks about what an extended two-month fuel levy relief really means for South Africa’s economy, as the government tries to cushion consumers from surging global oil prices without blowing out an already stretched fiscus.
