Eskom CEO Dan Marokane has called for South Africa’s Transmission Development Plan (TDP) to be complemented by a “regional TDP” to support the development of the grid infrastructure required to enable expanded electricity trade across the Southern African Power Pool.

“Regional integration must now be part of our strategy,” he said, adding that a regional TDP could help raise electrification penetration and unlock the territory’s mining potential as demand for critical minerals increased.

“The global energy transition is reshaping supply chains, markets and labour forces, and will unlock a projected $11-trillion in value by 2040, and create nearly 90-million jobs by 2050.
