South Africa reports on energy investments

The expansion of the nuclear programme remained part of South Africa’s future energy mix, according to the Economic Sectors, Employment and Infrastructure Development cluster.

“The procurement plan for (the) 9 600MW nuclear build programme will be implemented in the next decade at a pace informed by what the country can afford,” it said.

 

An update was presented by the cluster on 8 March on the ongoing implementation of President Zuma’s Nine Point Plan to put the country on a sustainable growth path, with the chief focus on how energy challenges could be resolved.

The cluster is chaired by Rural Development and Land Reform Minister Gugile Nkwinti. It outlines progress made to stabilise electricity supply, which is a crucial resource to keep industry and business powered.
