Members of the army have already been deployed to some Eskom power stations to protect against the theft of essential components.
Ramaphosa said additional power was being procured to deal with load shedding.
“At the same time, these measures will reshape the country’s electricity industry and ensure energy security into the future,” he said. Shortly after his speech, City Power confirmed it received a request from SAPS Natjoints to exclude Nasrec, where ANC55 is taking place from the deliberate power cuts.
