Speaking at a briefing on Sunday morning, the Electricity Minister said the expansion and the strengthening of the grid is going to take an inordinate amount of money that the power utility doesn't yet have.

Ramokgopa was speaking at a media briefing on Sunday morning, where he updated the country on the implementation of the energy action plan.
