The expansion of the national power transmission network plays an important role in preventing power outages and facilitating the introduction of renewable energy in South Africa, the country's energy minister Kgosieensha Framecope said.
At a media briefing, he noted that the bandwidth in some areas is already exhausted, which complicates the ability to combine renewable energy. The framework believes that investments in the extension of the network will be a decisive step in the implementation of large renewable energy.
The minister noted that South Africa needs about $ 21.3 billion to improve the capacity and connection of renewable energy in different parts of the country. It should be noted that the energy crisis in the country has led to increased interest in private electricity producers and the need for reforms in the sector.
