CSIR, SANEDI, Eskom and Fraunhofer IWES conducted a study to holistically quantify the wind-power potential in South Africa, and the portfolio effects of widespread spatial wind and solar power aggregation in South Africa. Wind Atlas South Africa (WASA) data was used to simulate wind power across South Africa. Key results showed that South Africa exhibits world-class conditions to introduce very large amounts of variable renewables into the electricity system.
