Power generation, while remaining South Africa’s largest barrier to economic growth, provides piped natural gas supplier Egoli Gas with a significant opportunity to provide more piped natural gas for the local industry, says Egoli Gas MD Vishal Pooran. “We are all aware of the current challenges regarding the inconsistent electricity supply from power utilities. Government has already licensed and granted approval on embedded generation of up to 10 MW without having to obtain Ministerial approval.”
