but the grid is in Mpumalanga.
Why is that a problem?

It's a big problem if it's got nowhere to go
Power grids are a delicate balancing act.
They'll find a way to re-balance in the end. Let's get past shortage of supply first.
 
Ankerlig was supposed to be converted
Grootvlei and Hendrina as well
I know, and yet, here we are.

Plans plans and more plans.

I see Mossel Bay being mentioned, so nowhere near the east coast. Anyway, this is why the peaker plants were built that side of the country and why there is a refinery in Mossel Bay. Unless we want all that grid infrastructure in Mpumalanga to become redundant when the power stations are decommissioned, it makes sense to get gas from moz for that side of the country aswell.

Okay, that makes sense too.
