Power stations and major power lines are being built on a massive scale to meet rising electricity demand in South Africa. Eskom's capacity expansion budget is R385 billion up to 2013 and is expected to grow to more than a trillion rand by 2026. Ultimately Eskom will double its capacity to 80 000 MW by 2026. Since the programme started in 2005, an additional 4 453.5 MW has already been commissioned. The plan is to deliver an additional 16 304 MW in power station capacity by 2017.
