            <description><![CDATA[South Africa is poised to delay the retirement of about a fifth of its coal-fired electricity-generation capacity as gas projects earmarked to replace them remain behind schedule, contrasting a decline in use of the dirtiest fossil fuel in other developing nations. Africa’s largest economy, which relies on coal to generate about 80% of its electricity, had planned to shut 8 gigawatts of coal-fired capacity by 2030 according to its Integrated Resource Plan 2025, but the new capacity planned to take its place — 6 gigawatts of gas-powered generation — is behind schedule and tied up in legal processes.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Countries are increasingly prioritising domestic energy resources as they seek to reduce their reliance on imported fuels in response to what the International Energy Agency (IEA)  is describing as the world’s largest-ever energy security crisis, precipitated by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Presenting the IEA’s eleventh World Energy Investment report, executive director Fatih Birol said that besides moves to domesticate energy supply amid a growing trust deficit, governments were also reshaping their investment strategies around diversification, electrification and energy efficiency.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[South Africa's coal sector, and nonprofit research organisation CoalTech Research Association, which is funded by coal industry organisations, must focus on defining the role of coal in the country’s energy mix, as the amount of coal mined and traded globally continues to climb, said coal and energy company Seriti Resources CEO Mike Teke. In 2008, six-billion tons of coal were mined global, with 800-million tons traded by sea. In 2025, nine-billion tons of coal were mined worldwide and seaborne trade in coal had doubled to 1.5-billion tons, he pointed out.]]></description>

So highlighted Siemens South Africa CEO Sabine Dall'Omo, in her keynote address on the second day of the Enlit Africa 2026 conference, at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. Water needed electricity, she pointed out, for pumping and treating. Water and electricity were both essential to maintain and grow the country's industrial base.

            <description><![CDATA[South Africa's biggest city and economic hub Johannesburg could have its power supply throttled by state-owned electricity company Eskom over unpaid debts, Eskom said on Tuesday. Engineering News reported on Monday that the utility had, in an advertisement published on Sunday, confirmed that the city and/or City Power owed it more than R5.25-billion and that it had decided to initiate a process that could result in the interruption of power supply “to stop spiralling debt”.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Proper asset management by Eskom has achieved an electricity availability factor of 65.16% this year-to-date, highlighted Eskom Rotek Industries (ERI) engineering manager Reinaldo da Veiga. He was addressing a session at the Enlit Africa 2026 Conference and Exhibition, at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. "The main objective of our organisation (Eskom) is to supply electricity to South Africa," he pointed out. Proper asset management had also resulted in a 62.46% reduction in Eskom's year-on-year spending on diesel fuel, for generators. The utility, as of last Saturday (May 16), had also achieved 365 days without loadshedding.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Power utility Eskom and and NYSE-listed grid-scale energy storage solutions provider Energy Vault have signed a strategic development agreement to deploy long-duration gravity energy storage systems (GESSs) in South Africa and, eventually, also the rest of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The first GESS plant will be built at Eskom’s Hendrina power station, in Mpumalanga. The system is expected to provide 25 MW of capacity with four hours of storage, equivalent to 100 MWh, and is designed to be fully scalable up to 4 GW.]]></description>

The loan would be used by South Africa to extend its own energy transition aims, Japanese diplomatic officials said, asking not to be identified in line with government practice, during a visit by its Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi. The size of the loan was not specified.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Two of South Africa's major labour unions have accepted state power utility Eskom's 7% wage increase offer, while a third has rejected it and declared a deadlock, demanding a higher raise, union representatives said on Thursday. Eskom began pay talks last year with the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa) and Solidarity, with several rounds of negotiations continuing until this month.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[South Africa's power utility Eskom, which uses diesel in its open-cycle gas turbine (OCGT) generators to meet peak demand, may have to start implementing Stage 1 or 2 loadshedding in a scenario of constrained diesel supply, warns financial advisory firm Cresco Project Finance Energy Strategy advisory partner Dominic Goncalves. About 57% of South Africa’s total refined diesel supply is shipped through the Strait of Hormuz, and only two of five local refineries in South Africa are operational.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Without regional trade, South Africa’s market will remain shallower, more volatile and less resilient to future power supply shocks, writes Africa GreenCo co-founder and chief commercial officer Cathy Oxby. Eskom is edging closer to a year without loadshedding, recently surpassing the 300-day mark – the longest stretch of uninterrupted power supply in years. Eskom Generation’s recovery plan, support from National Treasury’s debt relief for the utility and wider power sector reforms that have unlocked private generation capacity have all helped reduce power cuts.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[South Africa’s energy transition is on the right track, but structural grid constraints, slow climate finance deployment and the socioeconomic realities of the coal regions threaten to hinder progress, states academic and political analyst Dr Oscar van Heerden. Van Heerden says that growing renewable-energy activity and recent regulatory reforms signal positive momentum; however, the pace and design of the just energy transition (JET) will determine whether it succeeds economically and socially.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Africa has the potential to bypass a century of centralised, carbon-heavy power systems and move straight to a digital, distributed and low-carbon grid, but only if project execution matches project ambition, says global energy technology company Schneider Electric Middle East and Africa Zone president Walid Sheta. He argues that electrification, efficiency and smart grid management form the continent’s fastest route to economic growth and, in elaborating on Africa’s energy transition, he says that demand fundamentals create "an historic opening".]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[As African countries respond to global pressure to transition to renewable energy while also addressing urgent development and energy needs, the focus should not be on moving away from coal, but rather on decarbonising its industrial use, says University of the Witwatersrand chemical and metallurgical engineering senior lecturer Dr Nandi Malumbazo. The global decarbonisation agenda should extend beyond the power sector, as all industrial sectors reliant on carbon-based raw materials face similar pressures. African governments, she adds, must carefully consider whether and how their economies can afford such a transition.]]></description>
