South Africa will release a request for information (RFI) in the coming weeks to test the market for solutions to close an immediate electricity supply gap of between 2 000 MW and 3 000 MW, which has emerged primarily as a result of a fall in the energy availability factor (EAF) from Eskom's coal fleet and a de-rating of the anticipated output from the much-delayed Medupi and Kusile plants. The situation has been exacerbated further by the fact that no new capacity has been procured since 2014, as well as by a protracted hiatus, between 2015 and 2018, in the construction of renewables projects after Eskom refused to sign power purchase agreements. view more

Solar photovoltaic's allocation would see its share climb to 6% and hydro's to 8%. view more

South African government-bond yields could drop and the nation may hang on to its last investment-grade credit rating if policy makers implement the necessary reforms, central bank Governor Lesetja Kganyago said. Moody's Investors Service is scheduled to deliver its latest assessment of South Africa's credit rating on November 1. It has the country on a stable outlook, but government borrowing has increased to help keep power utility Eskom afloat, economic growth has slowed and business confidence is near the lowest in more than three decades. "South African policy makers know exactly what must be implemented so that Moody's do not venture" to a downgrade, Kganyago said. view more

In this opinion piece, Engineering News Senior Deputy Editor Martin Zhuwakinyu writes about the Andela initiative that was established to nurture Africa's technology talent. A couple of months back, I waxed lyrical about an initiative to nurture Africa's high-end information technology talent for placement with global tech companies. Its beauty, I wrote, was that the youngsters who were taken on board were not required to leave the continent's shores but worked out of offices in the major cities of Nigeria, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Ghana and Egypt, thus avoiding a brain drain. view more

As South Africa enters its third day of blackouts, investors are still awaiting word from President Cyril Ramaphosa's administration on how it's going to fix the ailing State power company. The outages are being imposed by Eskom, the behemoth utility that's been without a permanent CEO since August and is so cash-strapped it can't service its debt and properly maintain aging plants. view more
