Government will not be issuing a call for proposals for its nuclear power expansion programme on Friday to allow for more time for consultations, which could mean shifting responsibility for implementation of the project from the Department of Energy to Eskom, Minister in the Presidency Jeff Radebe confirmed on Thursday. “There are consultations that are taking place. You will recall that when Cabinet deliberated on this matter in December 2015, at that time, the whole issue of this nuclear process was going to be led by the Department of Energy,” Radebe told a post-Cabinet media briefing.
