⚡ Strengthening South Africa’s Grid for the Future
At the Africa Energy Forum, Monde Bala, Chief Executive Officer of the National Transmission Company South Africa (NTCSA), participated in a high-impact panel discussion on “South Africa – Grid Resilience and Expansion.” The session focused on NTCSA’s Transmission Development Plan (TDP)—a bold programme to deliver 14 500 km of new transmission infrastructure over the next 10 years, unlocking capacity for growth, renewables and regional integration.
The panelists shared insights on the following questions:
🔹 What opportunities do these projects present to the private sector and to regional private T&D capacity and expertise?
🔹 How are regulatory reforms and financial instruments (e.g., CGV) enabling this trailblazing project?
🔹 How long will it take for Phase 1 projects to deliver, and when/where will we see local participation?
This is a pivotal step in building a resilient, future-ready grid that supports South Africa’s energy transition and economic growth.

#EnergyZA | Load reduction elimination programme underway
➡️ Government is implementing a phased programme to eliminate load reduction across South Africa
➡️ Load reduction expected to be largely resolved by September 2026 in five provinces
➡️ Full national elimination targeted by March 2027
#GovZAUpdates ##CapableState
Eskom’s Group Executive for Eskom Green, Rivoningo Mnisi, is contributing to a critical industry dialogue at the panel discussion: “Solar – Africa’s Shining Star.”
As Africa’s energy landscape evolves, solar projects on the continent have reached a critical turning point, offering
cost-effective and reliable solutions for both utility scale and commercial & industrial (C&I) markets.
This session unpacks key questions shaping the future of solar on the continent:
🔹 Are the falling costs of solar fuelling more projects?
🔹With progress made in combining BESS with solar, will we create a 24/7 energy source?
🔹 What opportunities does C&I solar offer and how bankable are they?
These discussions are central to unlocking sustainable energy pathways and advancing Africa’s just energy transition.
