Trading, transmission key factors in a liberalised South African electricity market

With the liberalisation of the South African electricity market, energy trading will become increasingly important. So highlighted Investec Project Finance Director Franca Sandham. She was participating in a panel discussion organised by energy transition financial consultancy Green Giraffe Advisory, on the fringe of the African Energy Indaba, in Cape Town, on Thursday. “Energy traders are essential to a more deregulated market,” she affirmed. “It’s inevitable. We’ll see more and more traders.”
