Eskom targets faster grid connections to unlock SA’s energy generation potential
Eskom said grid access remains critical to advancing new generation projects and strengthening energy security.
Eskom is set to convene an annual conference for Independent Power Producers (IPPs), the National Transmission Company of South Africa (NTCSA), and other industry stakeholders to address the pressing challenge of accelerating grid connections and unlocking South Africa's energy generation potential. The conference, themed "From Reform to Resilience: Powering a Just Energy Future," will take place on 12-13 November 2026 and aims to drive practical solutions to the grid connection process, improve infrastructure utilization, and enhance overall energy security.
Discussions will focus on progress in grid connections, capacity constraints, associated risks, and lessons learned from project implementation, with a keen emphasis on using existing capacity more effectively and identifying opportunities for grid expansion.
