The GCIS, on behalf of the Minister of Energy, Ms Dipuo Peters, invites you to attend the second Energy media roundtable discussion focusing on the future of nuclear power in South Africa.
As part of government’s plans for security of power supply in South Africa, intensive efforts are underway towards securing security of electricity supply through, amongst others, the development of new nuclear power stations that should be completed by 2023. Nuclear power is a growing global industry and South Africa will have to develop the infrastructure and expertise to support such an industry. This could further lead to the creation of 70 000 more jobs.
The Round Table discussion will enable media to engage with the Minister on the latest government nuclear policy considerations and the work that is currently in progress. You are also invited to join the Minister for a buffet dinner and cocktails afterwards.
The details for the media round table discussion are as follows:
