Within this (already happening) energy transition, two items are noteworthy for the South African power market: the transmission grid and electricity wheeling. This places the transmission grid (and the new transmission company) in a healthy position to conduct future business. The Eskom Transmission Development Plan (TDP) 2022-2031 puts the capital plan at R178 billion between 2022 and 2031. Within this infrastructure growth plan, Eskom does draw attention to the tenders being subject to environmental authorisations, servitude acquisitions and customers accepting budget quotes. We desperately need these changes (in generation, transmission and distribution) because of lost revenue for businesses and South Africans.
