It’s all very well generating power, but how do we transport it to communities? South Africa, in particular, is renowned for poor electricity transmission, but the issue pervades across the continent. This session considers:

  • How do we bring more transmission lines to market?
  • How do dealmakers mitigate risks and navigate the legal challenges of working on cross-jurisdictional projects?
  • What do we need from governments to improve Africa’s energy transmission?
  • What work needs to be done to convince governments that transmission projects are important?
