Cape Town - South Africa plans to allocate more funds
towards the construction of nuclear power plants as it aims to boost
electricity supply in Africa’s biggest economy, Energy Minister Dipuo Peters
said on Tuesday.
South Africa allocated R300bn for its nuclear build
programme in its budget last week.
“The amount of money that has been allocated as an indication for the nuclear build, it’s not a thumbsuck and we don’t actually say that is the end amount, but we believe that it is the beginning,” Peters told reporters.
