GRID IN FOCUS

GRID IN FOCUS: Electricity Minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa says South Africa will prioritise the expansion of its grid over the next decade and reports that work is under way on 25 projects at existing substations that could potentially unlock grid capacity for about 13 GW of much-needed generation in the near- to medium-term. He has also stressed that South Africa can ill-afford to “kick the can down the road” in the area of grid investment as it did in the early 2000s with generation. Photograph: Bloomberg
