SAWEM School ‘oversubscribed’ as NTCSA gears up for launch of market platform

The National Transmission Company South Africa (NTCSA) reports strong interest in its recently launch three-day educational programme to prepare potential participants for the launch next year of the South African Wholesale Electricity Market (SAWEM). The first official SAWEM School was hosted at the Wits Business School in late July and attracted more than 60 participants, drawn from academia, trading companies, large power users, the NTCSA itself and various other entities. It followed on from an earlier pilot school that involved more than 40 participants.
