“Eskom’s monopoly must be broken, and the private sector should be empowered to provide electricity,” - Free Market Foundation.

Government should amend the Electricity Regulation Act to create a competitive energy market in South Africa.

The Electricity Regulation Act of 2006’s Chapter III on Electricity Licences and Registration states:

No person may, without a license issued by the Regulator in accordance with this Act-

(a) operate any generation, transmission or distribution facility;

(b) import or export any electricity; or

(c) be involved in trading.

The Free Market Foundation (FMF) argues that South Africa’s electricity challenges are due to two words in the Act – no person.

Changing “no person” to “every person”, the FMF said, will open the supply of energy in South Africa and solve its energy crisis.

“The government should allow every person or business capable and willing to participate in power generation,”
