South Africa's electricity minister will lead a delegation to China to procure photovoltaic equipment

At the recent china-south Africa Conference on New Energy Investment and cooperation in South Africa, the South African government's power minister, Cosinjo Ramokopa, revealed that he would soon lead a delegation to visit China, and with China's six large solar equipment manufacturers to meet to seek affordable solar panels, wind turbines and other equipment. Ramokopa said he hoped the move would help the south resolve its energy crisis. According to him, South Africa is struggling to cope with the worst power crisis in history, the recent power supply problems improved, but the upcoming winter is still a huge challenge for the local people. “We look forward to overcoming the difficulties with the help of the Chinese side, resolving the energy crisis as soon as possible, and realizing the country's economic recovery and development,” the South African Embassy in Beijing said in a video message, china's advanced and affordable technology could help South Africa meet its energy goals. It is reported that more than 90% of the electricity is supplied by the South African National Electric Power Company, but in the past decade, the company's power station equipment is aging, not only can not meet the electricity demand of the people, power shortages in South Africa are exacerbated by frequent rolling blackouts across the country to prevent the grid from collapsing due to excessive demand, it has seriously affected people's lives and the production and operation of Industry and commerce. This year, the country's electricity use has increased again, with power cuts averaging eight to 12 hours a day, and president Ramaphosa even declared a state of catastrophe in February. With winter approaching in South Africa, the threat posed by power supply problems will be more serious. Based on this, South Africa began to seek to use solar energy and other new energy generation, solar panels became a hot product in South Africa.
