South Africa-China Electricity and Energy Investment Conference Opens at POWERCHINA Headquarters to Advance Long-Term Energy Partnerships

Published

BEIJING, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — POWERCHINA highlighted its long-standing role in South Africa’s energy and infrastructure development as the two-day South Africa-China Electricity and Energy Investment Conference opened at its Beijing headquarters on Aug. 3.

Organized by South Africa’s Department of Electricity and Energy and the South African Embassy in China, with support from POWERCHINA, the event brought together more than 260 government, finance and industry representatives to explore over R2.2 trillion in investment opportunities through 2039 under South Africa’s Integrated Resource Plan 2025, spanning generation, transmission, energy storage and related manufacturing.

Dr. Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, South Africa’s minister of electricity and energy, said the country was entering a decisive decade in its energy market transformation. He noted that the IRP 2025 investment pipeline would not only add generation and transmission capacity, but also support lasting infrastructure, industrial development and shared prosperity through long-term partnerships.

“Since beginning operations in South Africa in 2008, POWERCHINA has contributed to the country’s power and water infrastructure,” POWERCHINA President Wang Xiaojun said. “We are ready to work with government agencies, financial institutions and industry partners to move projects from planning to implementation while creating lasting value through local procurement, skills development and supply chain cooperation.”

Under IRP 2025, South Africa plans to add about 105 GW of new generation capacity through 2039, supported by a diversified mix of solar, wind, battery storage, natural gas and nuclear power. The country also plans to build about 14,500 kilometers of transmission infrastructure, with an estimated R440 billion in transmission investment required over the next decade.

POWERCHINA’s experience in South Africa provides a practical foundation for its participation in the country’s next phase of infrastructure development. The company’s completed and ongoing wind, solar photovoltaic and concentrated solar power projects in South Africa have a combined capacity of 1.9 GW. Its battery storage projects under construction have a combined capacity of 1.9 GWh.

Among these projects is the 100 MW Redstone concentrated solar power project, South Africa’s largest tower-based molten salt solar thermal facility. The project combines solar generation with thermal energy storage to provide dispatchable renewable power. POWERCHINA is also participating in the Oya hybrid facility project, which integrates wind, solar and battery storage on a single grid-connected platform to support a more flexible and reliable power system.

Beyond energy generation, POWERCHINA is contributing to water infrastructure that supports electricity supply, industrial activity and local communities. The Mokolo – Crocodile Water Augmentation Project Phase 2A is a major water infrastructure project under South Africa’s National Water Resource Strategy. Once completed, it is expected to deliver 75 million cubic meters of water annually. The project will help secure water supplies for the Medupi and Matimba power stations, support development in the Waterberg mining area and provide water to industrial facilities, municipalities and communities along the

POWERCHINA has also incorporated local procurement, subcontracting and skills development into its project delivery in South Africa. Its projects have created thousands of local jobs and supported the development of local suppliers. At the Redstone project, the company established a welding training center and worked with a local university to provide technical education linked to concentrated solar power. These initiatives help strengthen the local capabilities needed to support South Africa’s growing energy sector over the long term.

The conference is expected to lay the groundwork for a proposed South Africa-China Energy Investment Partnership. POWERCHINA will continue working with South African partners to advance reliable energy and water infrastructure that supports industrial development and sustainable growth.

Revuud’s growth reflects a broader shift in how healthcare organizations build and manage IT teams. As health systems advance Epic optimization, AI, cybersecurity, interoperability, data, cloud, and digital transformation initiatives—often simultaneously—many are looking for faster, more flexible ways to access specialized expertise without relying exclusively on traditional staffing models.

Growth Driven by a Changing Healthcare IT Workforce

Scout, Revuud’s proprietary AI assistant, supports the process by evaluating consultant skills, experience, certifications, work history, rates, and availability to help identify strong potential matches for healthcare IT opportunities.

Revuud has also expanded its role as a source of healthcare IT workforce intelligence.
