Speakers across a range of disciplines and domains have said that South Africa’s electricity market is transitioning to a more pluralistic market that will also include a much larger range of services to support generation, transmission, aggregation, grid balancing, energy trading, day-ahead and intra-day markets, besides others. During consulting firm EE Business Intelligence’s ‘Electricity market development: The transition to a multi-market model’ webinar, on October 26, University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business Power Futures Lab chairperson Professor Anton Eberhard said South Africa’s electricity industry would never be the same again.
