This conference brings together local and international perspectives focused on interrogating ideal and successful methodologies in the transmission of electricity. Wheeling, which is the transmission of electricity from the point of production to the end user, has been successfully implemented worldwide in deregulated markets but becomes challenging in the South African context due the increasing production of variable renewable power in an environment that has not yet been developed to support this. This event will highlight the policy and technical challenges that exist, bringing together the input of various stakeholders at a level that is intended to make inroads to facilitate the broader uptake of electricity wheeling within the country.
