While the country could potentially use power ships to provide electricity to address the energy crisis urgently, there are concerns about the costs and potential for corruption associated with 20-year contracts, said Crispian Olver. Olver, who is executive director of the Presidential Climate Commission (PCC), made his remark in a personal capacity at Daily Maverick’s all-day conference on climate change and environmental issues, on Friday. Olver was responding to a question about government’s push for floating gas power ships as a means to reduce load shedding, which has had a crippling effect on the economy. News24, 26 May 2023.
