ABOUT THE MARKET

South Africa's energy market is reforming

South Africa's power reforms are creating new buyers, new budgets and a funded pipeline of projects. The suppliers who show up early become the shortlist. With more than 600 million people across Africa still lacking reliable electricity, the demand behind this market is signalling a strong business opportunity. 

Private power producers can now build, own and sell generation. That creates a new class of buyer with its own budgets, timelines and procurement teams, all looking for proven technology partners.

Eskom is being unbundled into separate generation, transmission and distribution entities. Instead of one procurement door, there are several, each specifying equipment and services.

Expanded IPP frameworks, REIPPPP rounds and Just Energy Transition Partnership climate finance mean projects are moving from paper to procurement, with capital already committed.

Battery storage, green hydrogen, data centres, corporate PPAs, private grids and smart grid infrastructure are all growing at once, and buyers are choosing suppliers now.
