South Africa’s energy crisis is expected to dominate discussions at this year’s Mining Indaba which kicks off in Cape Town on Monday.

Founder and Director of Peta Attorneys, Dineo Peta says this year’s gathering will serve as an opportunity to attract investment from international energy supply players. At the same time, she says it cannot be avoided that the coal sector plays an even bigger role in South Africa because of the part it plays in lighting up the country.

According to the Minerals Council of South Africa, the mining industry uses up to 30% of Eskom’s annual power supply. However, Peta says the mining sector must find alternative renewable energy sources to power up their machinery which will in turn reduce the industry’s reliance on the power grid.
