Just Energy Transition – for me, but not for the Highveld of Mpumalanga

The impact of the JET on the Highveld region in Mpumalanga is being ignored and is ineffective. Just Energy Transition projects continue regardless. Take the repurposing of the Komati power station. Government and big business have recognised the JET failure regarding the repurposing of Komati, what was the economic impact of Komati closure, if Hendrina will be R6.4Bn a year?

JET organisations are failing to learn lessons from the Komati project. JET supports consultants and non-profit organisations in Mbombela, Gauteng and Cape Town through grants for research projects. These organisations have no interest in the Mpumalanga Highveld and their projects have limited effect. Moeketsi Mpotu, MCCI President said at the March annual general meeting that local businesses need to be the voice of reason. The current JET strategy will not only harm, but impact STLM and Emhahlaleni businesses, including all businesses that supply, transport, export and provide services from the Gauteng region.

Local investors are invited to attend the Energy Investment eSEZ Conference on 25 July 2024, at the Steve Tshwete Banquet Hall. Book your seat or exhibition stand at www.energyiseconomy.com.
