Objective
Reduce the severity and frequency of load shedding and achieve energy security
Priorities
1. Deploy intervention teams to improve the performance of identified power stations (Matla, Kriel, Majuba, Kendal)
2. Diesel supply chain optimization to increase the load factor of OCGTs
3. Kusile chimney stack replacement programme (civils design and project implementation plan review)
4. Support Eskom national campaign to reduce demand over winter
5. Launch of the Energy One Stop Shop to accelerate private sector embedded generation projects
• RMF has appointed service providers for PMO, • Finalise terms of reference for support to power
legal, communications, and energy modelling stations and mobilise experts

The opportunity:
• Build on existing collaboration between government and business on initiatives with proven track record of success,
including the Presidential Youth Employment Intervention, the Presidential Employment Stimulus, the Youth
Employment Service and the SME Fund
• Expand and scale these initiatives through wider engagement to drive participation and uptake
• Identify regulatory, policy and other measures to support and grow SMMEs and unlock job creation at scale
Next steps:
• Further engagement over the next six weeks to finalise research underway and agree platform for enhanced
cooperation on the jobs agenda

Next steps
Build momentum
• All priority projects fully resourced and in implementation
• Initial results visible (leading indicators)
• Three-month targets achieved: e.g. increasing load factor of OCGTs to curb load shedding over winter
Demonstrate results
• Six-month targets achieved: e.g. improvement in performance of identified power stations and rail corridors
• Impact communicated to the public
• Additional priorities identified for further collaboration
