CSIR's Monique le Roux: SA's loadshedding solution in abundant gas, renewables - execution required

Monique Le Roux, a senior researcher at the CSIR who specialises in energy and electricity, applies her mind to the challenges and potential solutions for SA’s energy crisis. She also touches on recent revelations of corruption in the country’s public utility, as well as the delays in the renewables program. Le Roux emphasises the importance of gas as a low-hanging fruit, but the government’s lack of leadership and policy direction is a big obstacle. Also covered in the interview are the potential of fracking in the Karoo and its impact on the country’s energy supply. She spoke to Alec Hogg of BizNews. Learn more about your ad choices.
