Show notes

In this episode of the Monocle Banking Podcast, Michael Avery was joined by Rentia van Tonder, Head of Power at Standard Bank CIB, to unpack the real story behind South Africa’s energy transition. From the gridlock in REIPPPP Bid Windows 5 and 6 to the looming gas cliff of 2026, they explored why financing the future of power is about capital allied to trust, transparency, and long-term partnerships. With fresh insights on emerging electricity traders, corporate PPAs, and how smarter grid allocation could spark a truly liquid energy market, this is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the crossroads of infrastructure, finance, and climate ambition in South Africa and the broader African continent.
