It also indicates that China could cut emissions by at least 30% by 2035 by continuing with policies to clean its power, mobility and steelmaking sectors. Photograph: Bloomberg

While the National Transmission Company South Africa has a plan, it lacks the balance sheet to go it alone. The problem is that there is still no obvious agreement on the model that could be used to add capacity through Independent Power Transmission projects. Policymakers will have to show skill and agility if they are to navigate this high-wire balancing act.
