Market liberalisation, grid access needed to sustain energy reform momentum

Even if only incremental steps are taken, South Africa must continue to progress its electricity market liberalisation and reform agenda, such as launching the South Africa Wholesale Electricity Market (SAWEM), even if only involving a few organisations. Further, while there were many competing challenges to be addressed to ensure progress, grid access was highlighted as a key element in the coming year by the experts who participated in the 'South Africa's Energy Outlook 2026 – Sustaining Reform Momentum' webinar hosted by Creamer Media on January 28. The webinar was facilitated by law firm TGR Attorneys director Masedi Tlhong, with State-owned Eskom Group strategy and sustainability executive Nontokozo Hadebe, industry organisation South African Independent Power Producer Association chairperson Leoné Human, financial advisory firm Cresco associate director Olga Suchkova, renewable-energy trader Discovery Green head André Nepgen and industry organisation Energy Council of South Africa CEO James Mackay providing insights.
