GRIDLOCKED

While wind projects with a combined capacity of 3200 MW have been frozen out as a result of insufficient grid capacity in South Africa, the Australian federal and New South Wales governments have announced that they will spend $5.2-billion on new electricity transmission to support more renewable power. Bloomberg reports that Australia is undergoing one of the fastest transitions to a renewable-dominated grid in the world, with most of its coal-fired plants set to close by the middle of next decade. The story has a familiar ring, yet South Africa is showing far less urgency when it comes to adding the grid capacity needed to unlock its transition. Photograph: Bloomberg
