Fusion42 · 6 October 2026 · Fusion42 review

The planned opening of South Africa's electricity market, which was long overdue, has been postponed again, delaying opportunities for increased competition and private sector participation.

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

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The delay in South Africa's electricity market opening closes immediate chances for newcomers to compete or supply power. If you planned to enter this market, look now for alternative regional opportunities or pivot to energy services instead.
