Growing industry focus is being placed on whether the National Transmission Company South Africa NTCSA can expand South Africas transmission grid at the pace required to support the countrys accelerating energy transition.
The role of transmission capacity in unlocking new generation was a central theme during Creamer Medias Investing in South Africas Electricity Transmission Grid webinar on January 28 when stakeholders across the electricity value chain highlighted grid delivery as an increasingly critical constraint.
The NTCSAs General Manager for Energy Market Services Andrew Etzinger said the scale of transmission investment required is unprecedented, placing pressure on a network where capacity is already constrained in several regions.
