The Future of the Grid: Training webinar on power system basics

Globally, the transition from traditional generators to high levels of variable renewable and distributed energy resources is already challenging traditional models of system operations. Yet achieving global net zero greenhouse gas emissions and universal energy access goals will crucially depend on reliable, stable, and decarbonised electricity systems. The reorganisation of electricity systems to integrate high levels of variable renewable energy (VRE) and the associated investment in grid infrastructure are critical interventions in meeting energy security, climate and development goals, and South Africa’s just transition aspirations - but are not without their challenges.

As a companion to the Future of the Grid Knowledge exchange with system operators and global experts, we invite you to this online public training introducing power system basics to to non-technical audiences.
