Anticipating the future, South Africa's energy system will be unrecognisable compared with the present by the early 2030s. Load shedding will be a memory, Eskom will have become a transmission business, most coal-fired power stations will have closed down, and Eskom's system operator (SO) - currently located in Germiston - will navigate a much more complex and diverse grid system.

This free, open-access course aims to boost the understanding and capacity of students, researchers and practitioners to engage in meaningful and effective landscape collaboration processes.
