South Africa’s Electricity Market: Liberalisation or Illusion?

This solutions-focused conversation will examine whether South Africa is genuinely moving toward a competitive electricity market, or if risk is simply being redistributed while core control remains centralised.

The panel will unpack key themes, including progress on market reform, challenges in practical implementation, market design versus bankability, allocation of risk in a market system and the evolving role of traders, municipality, NTCSA and Eskom.

Join us for this insightful discussion on a key topic affecting South Africa.

- Thokozile Zambane, Founder and CEO, Kani Development Solutions (Moderator)
