19. edycja targów Power and Electricity World Africa 2016 jest największym wydarzeniem w sektorze
energetycznym w Afryce, które odbywać się będzie w Sandton Convention Centre w Johannesburgu w dniach 15
– 16 marca 2016 roku.
Uczestniczyć w nich będą przedstawiciele rządu RPA, w tym Ministerstwa Energetyki (Department of Energy)
RPA, przedstawiciele 26 krajów afrykańskich, ponad 600 gości VIP i około 6000 odwiedzających, zwracamy się z
propozycją odwiedzenia tych targów przez Państwa delegację.
Polski sektor energetyczny, a w szczególności sektor energii odnawialnej, jest jednym z priorytetowych sektorów
gospodarki, który WPHI w Johannesburgu promuje na rynku RPA w tym roku.
WPHI będzie miało swoje stoisko na tych targach, w związku z powyższym zapraszamy Państwa do nadsyłania
materiałów promocyjnych, które będą dystrybułowane na stoisku i podczas targów.
Ponieważ targi POWER and ELECTRICITY WORLD AFRICA odbywają się w połowie marca będziemy wdzięczni za
niezwłoczne przesłanie materiałów na adres:

Latest Updates And Structural Trends

In 2014, electricity generation in South Africa stood at 237.0 terawatt hours (TWh), representing a 1.26%
decrease on the previous year. Coal-fired sources of electricity accounted for 93.15% of this figure, and we
expect that coal will continue to play a major role in electricity production during the course of our forecast
period, rising by an average of 1.31% to stand at 251.33TWh in 2024. Economic growth and demographics will
both drive demand upwards.
South Africa's non-hydro renewables capacity will nearly triple over our 10-year forecast period and the
country will lead the SSA region for installed renewables capacity by 2024. The attractive regulatory
environment, high investor interest and strong power demand in the country will be the main driving forces

underpinning growth. We expect non-hydro renewables capacity to triple over our 10-year forecast period,
reaching 8.7GW by 2024. Annual average growth rates will be 17.4% between 2015 and 2024, with non-hydro
renewables generating over 15 terawatt hours (TWh) by 2024.
Eskom does not expect further power cuts in the country until April 20167, CEO Brian Molefe has said. While
speaking to the Parliament's Public Enterprises Committee, Molefe outlined Eskom's maintenance plan. He
stated that Eskom's focus has been on planning maintenance work without any need for power cuts. South
Africa's power sector has been in suffered ongoing 'power emergencies' since the beginning of 2014, and
warnings of load shedding have been mooted frequently.. This has negatively affected economic growth as
industrial customers are encouraged to reduce their energy usage by state-owned utility Eskom.
Analiza SWOT
Strengths
■
■
■
■
■
Abundant indigenous supplies of coal make this fuel the favoured choice in terms of the cost of capacity
expansion, as it is cheap and not vulnerable to international supply concerns.
Considerable renewable energy potential, with the country making progress in exploiting it.
Highest level of electrification rate in Sub-Saharan Africa.
South Africa's business environment and the power sector's level of development give the country an edge
over many of its regional peers, incentivising developers to use the country as a base.
Broad political stability is likely to persist, owing to the African National Congress (ANC)'s dominance at a
national and provincial level.
Weaknesses
■
■
■
■
■
Extensive use of coal in electricity generation implies rising carbon emissions; this will be a concern if a carbon
tax is introduced by the government in 2015.
Outages are commonplace, having a severe impact on key industries such as mining and the manufacturing
sector.
Delays in maintenance of existing power stations and the completion of those under construction give Eskom
very little margin to cope with seasonal surges in power demand.
Lack of progress in privatising the power sector limits investments.
High currency volatility over the years has hampered investment planning.
Opportunities
■
■
Demand for South African coal is driving investments into expanding the mining sector and supporting
infrastructure, including power.
Investment into the development of offshore gas fields and plans to import liquefied natural gas should support
the development of new gas-fired power stations.
