The research service titled Grid Integration Challenges of Renewable Energy in South Africa deals with the issues involved with interconnecting variable renewable energy generation facilities into the South African transmission and distribution grid network. Renewable energy poses a new challenge to transmission system operators due to its inherent...

All economic and development strategies, even if pre-existing the National Development Plan (NDP), now fall under the NDP umbrella. Aligned with the NDP objectives to achieve sustainable growth and to combat unemployment, the Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP) envisions how to reverse industrial decline in general, but specifically in 19 sectors ...

Key Issues Addressed

Over the last decade, Africa, along with the Asia-Pacific, has grown the fastest in terms of GDP and had an average annual growth rate of 6% or more. Still, most of the countries in the continent have to significantly improve their political stability and public infrastructure to attract new investments and properly integrate themselves with furthe...

The research service investigates the development of the South African electricity market through the course of 2011. The study analyses changes in policy that are set to regulate the development of the market as a whole. Furthermore, future growth in generation technologies is analysed, and the potential relative impact the future generation mix d...

Connectivity between African countries is very limited, and intra-regional trade is currently only 12% of the continents total trade. This is mainly due to poor transport infrastructure, conflicting trade rules, and cross-border restrictions. This market insight analyses the base and intermediate chemical supply chain in Kenya, Nigeria, and Mozamb...

As the region with some of the lowest electrification rates in the world, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) will exhibit continued growth of power pools. This growth is likely to be driven primarily by expanding transmission and distribution (T&D) networks within and between member countries. This outlook provides an analysis of the power pools in SSA, foc...

Renewable energy has taken centre stage in South Africa's expanding power generation capacity, necessitating development and maintenance of requisite transmission infrastructure. Switch gears, transformers, and reactors are critical in supplying quality power to customers in a cost-effective manner. Local research and development, manufacturing, an...

Opening up the power generation sector to independent power producers is imperative as Eskom has shown some of its limits, such as severe funding shortfall, an extremely tight power system, and new-build projects being continuously delayed while power demand shoots. The dominant position of Eskom in power generation, transmission, and distribution ...
