These include opportunities to invest in own-generation projects and independent power producers through land leasing and wheeling arrangements as well as encouraging the sparing use of electricity to safeguard the national grid through energy efficiency campaigns. In a statement on Sunday, Eskom said in its ongoing endeavours to resolve the long-running electricity crisis, the power utility met CEOs and top leadership from more than 70 private institutions in a session led by the JSE and Business Leadership SA on Friday.
