Gesamentlike pogings en beraadslaging is die kern in ons antwoord op hierdie noodtoestand. Taakspanne is tans werksaam in baie gebiede. Aanstaande week sal die provinsiale premiers met die burgemeesters vergader om energiebesparingsmaatreëls te beplan en te implementeer in al die munisipaliteite regoor die land. Hulle sal ondersteun word deur die tegniese spanne van EDI Holdings, Eskom en die Nasionale Agentskap vir Energiedoeltreffendheid. Die Departement van Provinsiale en Plaaslike Regering sal hierdie aktiwiteite koördineer en sal bygestaan word deur die departemente van minerale en energiesake en van openbare ondernemings.
Collective effort and consultation are at the centre of our response to the emergency. Task teams are currently working in many areas. Next week the Provincial Premiers will convene their fora with mayors to plan and implement the energy saving measures in all the municipalities across the country. They will be supported by technical teams from EDI Holdings, Eskom and the National Energy Efficiency Agency. The Department of Provincial and Local Government will co-ordinate this activity supported by the line Departments of Mineral and Energy and Public Enterprises.
