Eskom needs to triple grid capacity in a decade
Eskom, South Africa’s power utility, needs to triple its grid capacity within the next decade at a cost of over R100 billion to accommodate new-generation projects and put an end to load-shedding.

Eskom, South Africa’s state-owned power utility, is facing a major problem with its transmission grid capacity to accommodate new wind and solar plants. The lack of funds and inadequate expansion has led to grid saturation in key regions, such as the Northern, Western, and Eastern Cape.
