609 8 400 8 400 1 000 9 600 45 637 South Africa’s Generation Capacity to 2030 The plan shows a heavy ongoing reliance on coal-fired power, with coal expected to account for 45.9% of South Africa’s electricity in 2030, down from 86% currently. Coal Generation The bulk of the new coal-fired capacity will be developed by Eskom, although there is 6 250 MW of coal-fired power that is currently uncommitted. This will include domestic production and imports, with the first 500 MW of the currently uncommitted coal-fired power expected to come on stream in 2014, followed by a further 500 MW a year later. It is likely that some of the early non-Eskom coal additions will be based on fluidized-bed combustion technology, using coal discard dumps in Mpumalanga. Nuclear Generation The second-largest component of the country’s energy mix in 2030, as outlined by IRP2010, will be nuclear power which will be the source of 12.7% of South Africa’s electricity. Currently, South Africa has only one nuclear power station, Koeberg, but the plan envisages the introduction of additional nuclear capacity from 2023, with a total of six tranches added by 2030. The cost of additional nuclear capacity includes the introduction of additional safety measures. Renewable Generation The plan also includes the introduction of significant renewable power by 2030, including wind, concentrated solar and photovoltaic solar power generation. Together, these three sources are expected to contribute 21% of South Africa’s total energy in 2030. Other Sources The energy mix outlined in IRP2010 also includes power from open-cycle gas turbine, combined-cycle gas turbine, pumped-storage, and hydro sources.

South Africa's information technology market is the largest in Africa, ranking 20th in the world in overall market size, and eighth in IT spending as a proportion of GDP. As an increasingly important contributor to South Africa's gross domestic product (GDP), the country's ICT and electronics sector is both sophisticated and developing. Several international corporates operate subsidiaries from South Africa, including IBM, Unisys, Microsoft, Intel, Systems Application Protocol (SAP), Dell, Novell and Compaq. The electronics industry’s revenues continue to grow and key players in industrial, power, defense and telecoms electronics include Siemens, Alcatel, Ericsson, Altech, Grintek, Spescom, Tellumat and Marconi. South Africa's ICT products and services industry continues to penetrate the fastgrowing African market. South African companies and locally based subsidiaries of international companies have supplied most of the new fixed and wireless telecoms networks that have been established across the continent in recent years. The recently installed submarine cable along the east and west coast of Africa has already had a significant impact on the high broadband and internet costs in South Africa and the region, and may further encourage the purchase of computer hardware and software products. Sub-Sector Best Prospects Return to top Hardware: The hardware market is predicted to grow from $3.8 billion in 2009 to $5.5 billion in 2013. Computer sales, including accessories, are expected to increase from $3.1 billion to $4.6 billion over the same period. Software:
