South Africa's Department of Electricity and Energy announced that from April 2027, new participants will join Eskom, officially ending its 103-year monopoly on the power market. Additionally, police raided Minister Senzo Mchunu's private residence as part of an ongoing investigation.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The long-closed door to South Africa’s power market is opening this April 2027. If you build energy supply or services, new rivals to Eskom mean your chance to sell into a newly competitive market is real and immediate.
