Should the South African grid be advanced?

It is proposed that the South African grid should be advanced in a similar fashion; not by gathering a collection of interesting technologies and calling it modern, or smart, or intelligent, but by first defining a vision and then building the construct of a grid that serves a defined purpose.

What are smart grid objectives?

At a high-level the smart grid objectives (refer Section 5.1) will serve as the metrics to track progress towards delivering on the South African Smart Grid Vision. But, it recognises that these metrics will be composed of several sub metrics that will require aggregation across industry sections and across entities/role players.

What is a smart grid roadmap?

A “roadmap”, based on this proposed approach, will be developed as part of the smart grid framework to provide industry guidance in terms of the Vision, but will not prescribe the journey that each utility should take.
