R112-billion fix for South Africa's transmission grid disaster

The National Transmission Company South Africa (NTCSA) has set aside R112 billion for the Transmission Development Programme (TPD), allowing nearly 30,000MW of utility-scale renewable generation to be online within the next five years.

Speaking at the NTCSA's official launch on Monday, 7 October 2024, chair Priscillah Mabelane said the company recognises that collaboration with the private sector is critical to ensuring that the 53,000MW required over the next decade will come online.
