The National Transmission Company South Africa NTCSA is set to enter a two-year technical cooperation programme with French transmission system operator subsidiary RTE International supported by a 650 000 R12 million grant from Agence Franaise de Dveloppement AFD.
Eskom, the NTCSA, RTE International and AFD signed the memorandum of understanding at the Africa Energy Forum in Cape Town last week. The grant is financed by the French national treasury.
The programme will bring technical teams from the NTCSA and RTE International together through workshops, study tours, research projects and pilot initiatives in South Africa and France.
