Industrial gas users in South Africa are facing a gas supply cliff after Sasol advised it will cease supply of gas via the ROMPCO pipeline to traders and industrial users in June 2026, as it seeks to maximise the tail-end of the gas supply from the Pande and Temane gas fields in southern Mozambique for its own use.

At the same time, driven by economic, security of supply and decarbonisation imperatives, South Africa is ramping up generation of variable renewable energy from the residential, commercial, industrial, mining, agricultural, municipal and IPP sectors, through public procurements and distributed, embedded and self-generation, wheeling and trading of electricity.

Fast, innovative solutions are required to address the impacts of these simultaneous challenges through new gas and flexible electricity supply projects.

This webinar will explore the opportunities, technologies, economics and financing options, and give some examples as to how new gas supply projects and power generation plants could provide the solutions.
