SA’s mining industry, which consumes almost a third of Eskom’s power supply - wants to free more energy for SA.

More companies are targeting a move away from Eskom’s grid as the country endures more rolling blackouts for longer periods – costing time and putting a strain on production. One of South Africa’s largest sectors – the mining industry – aims to reduce its consumption on the national power grid by as much as 30% by creating approximately 73 self-generation projects. Financial services company, Deloitte notes that energy is one of the biggest expenses for mining companies – constituting approximately 30% of total cash operating costs. <a href="https://kaya959.co.za">Kaya 959</a>
