Natural gas to play important role in the energy future

Energy solutions company GE expects gas power to play an increasingly important role in the medium- to long-term future of the country’s energy mix as government continues to pursue decarbonisation through balancing the demands between a coal-fired past and a renewables future. GE Gas Power regional executive Nosizwe Dlengezele says major recent gas discoveries will provide supply in the long term, while local and regional gas resources, including liquified natural gas (LNG), will provide fuel options in the short term.
