China Willing to Help SADC Generate Power

China has expressed interest in sharing its electricity generation technology and expertise with South Africa and its neighbours, all of which are in need of more generating capacity.

China Electricity Council International’s (CEC), Liu Dongye, says that the country is offering its world-class technology and equipment which it believes will go a long way in meeting South Africa’s requirement of 55000MW of electricity capacity by 2025 to satisfy its economic and social development needs.

Liu has been quoted as saying that, “It is not that China wants to only buy raw materials from this continent or to provide credit lines for big projects, it also wants to share its technology and expertise for the development of Africa and to benefit its people.”

“Such a deal will be a commercial transaction, not aid,” maintains Liu.
