Cape Town. The government is preparing to invite private investment into electricity transmission projects for the first time, marking a new milestone in the country’s efforts to deepen private sector participation in the energy sector.

Speaking on the sidelines of the Africa Energy Forum in Cape Town, Energy permanent secretary Felchesmi Mramba said the government had already received strong interest from potential investors following the Cabinet’s approval last year to open up the transmission segment to private players.
