Pull the other one

In theory it could, but in reality they hardly manage 30,000MW

Eskom’s current fleet's design capacity is 41 194MW.

FTFY

It is great that they install all these renewables and the large geographic spread makes it more reliable, but what is the assured supply of all these sources? 60% of max? 40%?

SA to become global leader in renewable energy

So SA is about 80th in the world in terms of renewable energy at the moment. We will now become a global leader? In which month and year will we be a global leader exactly? And what exact position will SA hold? 1st ahead of China and the US? 8th behind Germany? 21st behind the UK? Tell us so we can put the champagne on ice. Advance warning though 'cos I need to start my generator
