Join us at the Southern African Coal Conference on January 29-31, 2025 in Cape Town, South Africa. South Africa’s coal industry faces a new political landscape, with a coalition government now in charge of deciding its future. President Ramaphosa faces the difficult task of finding the right balance between long-term energy security and a just energy transition.
Coal still plays a vital role in South Africa’s economy, providing fuel for most of the country’s electricity, contributing billions of rand to the Treasury, and employing thousands. But the industry continues to face systemic logistical and supply chain constraints, as well as investment and regulatory issues.
Key topics for the conference will include:
What are the new government’s energy transition plans for South Africa?
How will seaborne markets perform in 2025 and who will be buying?
What is the demand outlook for South African coal into its overseas markets?
Will Transnet Freight Rail be able to improve its performance in 2025?
How is the industry helping to alleviate logistical constraints?
Will Eskom need to extend the lives of its coal-fired power plants?
How can miners secure funding to ensure the country has sufficient supplies
Now in its 20th year, the industry-leading event brings together government officials, mining executives and market experts to learn and plan for 2025 and beyond.
