Chris Logan: Remember this simple plan to fix Eskom? Even Greenpeace thinks it's a winner

In 2018 energy experts Tobias Bischof-Niemz, of the CSIR, and Johan van den Berg, CEO of the South African Wind Energy Association, suggested "a simple way to stabilise electricity prices, cast off Eskom’s crippling debt and boost South Africa’s credit rating, while maintaining public sector control of critical assets in the electricity sector". In a nutshell, selling off Eskom power stations. Their ideas, published on BizNews at the time, resonate with Greenpeace as well as local analysts who have put forward ideas to fix Eskom. Chris Logan of Opportune Investments speaks to BizNews editor-in-chief Alec Hogg about why the Bischof-Niemz, Van den Berg proposal is a smart idea to fix the utility, which is a drag on economic growth. - Jackie Cameron Learn more about your ad choices.
