South Africa is facing an electricity crisis, leading to blackouts and a surge in private power projects as the state electric company Eskom fails to meet demand. The cabinet approved an updated Integrated Resource Plan to develop electricity provision over the next two-and-a-half decades. To tackle the blackouts, South Africa plans to get 2,500 megawatts of new generation capacity from nuclear sources. The African Development Bank is also planning $1 billion of hydropower upgrades in several countries, including South Africa.
There is growing recognition that more needs to be done to deliver the radical rethink of the UK’s electricity networks that decarbonisation demands, writes Carl Trowell. From @NS_Spotlight ⬇️ https://t.co/uaXdNi1AOr
