2025-03,  Alastair Campbell, Energy Options

Alastair is based in Johannesburg where he manages three sustainable energy debt funds with a combined value of R8bn. After qualifying as a chartered accountant he served as a articled clerk at Deloitte South Africa and worked for a while at Standard Bank’s investment bank.

Alistair’s presentation will address questions such as: Loadshedding –why has it stopped? When is it likely to come back again?  Why are electricity tariff’s going up so much every year? How does the Eskom Utility Death Spiral contribute to this? How is South Africa going to meet its electricity needs going forward? Should we build new coal-fired power plants? Should we build new nuclear power plants? What is the future of gas and hydrogen in the energy mix? What should we be investing in going forward? Wind? Solar? Battery energy storage?
