National Grid Company Needed for SA

FLOE's chairman David Lipschitz has recently written a paper suggesting that what South Africa needs is for ownership of Eskom's (South Africa's) electricity grid to be transferred to a national (electricity) grid company which can be utilised by various independant power producers to feed electricity through. The national grid company will not be allowed to become an IPP and the IPPs will not be allowed to own shares in the grid company. The paper is our submission to the Parliamentary 'Climate Change' hearings scheduled to take place on 17 and 18 November 2009. To view the paper, click here. We welcome any comments or further suggestions you may have regarding this idea.
