AEW 2026 to Position Transmission at the Center of Africa’s Data Center Buildout

Constance0 comment
The rapid expansion of AI and cloud computing is driving substantial capital deployment into Africa’s digital infrastructure. This positions high capacity hyperscale campuses as a core asset class. South Africa remains the largest digital hub on the continent, anchoring a mature data center ecosystem that is actively scaling to capture regional enterprise demand. This institutional growth underscores the necessity for synchronized development between digital infrastructure and national energy networks. This structural imperative will take center stage at African Energy Week (AEW) 2026’s dedicated AI and Data Center track: Renegade Intel,… Read More Here

Beyond Generation: Petrodex’s Integrated Energy Model Powering Southern Africa

Constance0 comment
The region’s energy gap will not be closed by generation alone. It calls for a more integrated approach, one that moves electrons across borders, builds the lines that carry them, and generates new supply where it counts. Across the Copperbelt and Haut-Katanga, the binding constraint on growth is no longer the ore in the ground. It is the electricity needed to extract and process it. The region sits atop some of the world’s richest copper and cobalt deposits, and global demand for both is climbing as electrification, electric vehicles and… Read More Here

When Good Oils Go Bad Part 3

Nitration: The Acid You Didn’t See Coming The third article in WearCheck’s series “When Good Oils Go Bad” features a discussion around nitration. Nitration is far less talked about than oxidation, yet in many engines, it is just as destructive and often more insidious. Unlike oxidation, which is driven by oxygen, nitration is the result of a lubricant reacting with nitrogen oxides (NOx) that are formed during combustion. These gases are produced under the intense heat and pressure inside the combustion chamber and find their way into the oil through… Read More Here

Grid Gap in Focus as Southern African Utility Leaders Join AEW Power Africa Today

Constance0 comment
Senior executives from some of Southern Africa’s top power utilities and grid operators are confirmed to speak at the Power Africa Today conference during African Energy Week (AEW) 2026 in Cape Town from October 12-16. Their participation reflects the growing focus on transmission infrastructure, grid modernization and regional power market integration as the continent works to match generation growth with the networks needed to deliver it. South Africa’s Eskom has stabilized its generation fleet after years of load-shedding, recording more than 340 consecutive days without power cuts and a 98.9%… Read More Here

Africa’s Grid Constraints Come Into Focus as Regional Markets Push Toward Integration

Constance0 comment
Africa’s electricity demand is projected to nearly double to 2,291 TWh by 2050, requiring an estimated $30 billion in transmission and grid infrastructure investment to unlock and integrate new generation capacity. Yet, across the continent, grid systems are struggling to keep pace with rapidly expanding supply pipelines and rising demand. In Nigeria, repeated nationwide grid collapses as recently as February 2026 underscore the fragility of aging transmission infrastructure. In East Africa, tower failures along the 428 km Loiyangalani-Suswa line temporarily stranded output from Lake Turkana Wind Power – Africa’s largest… Read More Here

When Good Oils Go Bad

Part 1 – Oils don’t die, they degrade There are certain things in life that improve with age. Wine and whisky develop deeper, more complex flavours. Bonsai trees mature into highly valued works of art and even acoustic guitars and violins are said to improve in tone as the wood ages and the instrument opens up. Unfortunately, the list of things that don’t improve with time is far longer. Our physical health declines, sometimes along with our sense of humour. Metals corrode, paint fades and, perhaps less romantically but more… Read More Here

Oxidation: When Oil Gets Old Oxidation – the focus of part 2 of WearCheck’s “When Good Oils Go Bad” series – is one of the most common chemical reactions we encounter in everyday life. It occurs when fuel burns, when steel rusts, when wounds are cleaned with hydrogen peroxide and even when a cut apple turns brown. In lubricating oils, oxidation is no less familiar and no less damaging. Put simply, oxidation is the chemical reaction between a lubricant and oxygen. Over time, this reaction alters the oil’s chemistry, leading… Read More Here

WearCheck strengthens onsite sampling capabilities

Constance
The precise accuracy of taking an oil sample from a machine component is one of the most critically important steps in the scientific analysis of oil as part of a condition monitoring programme. According to condition monitoring specialist company, WearCheck, taking samples is often a very specialised task, and not all maintenance teams have the correct training. Samples that are not taken correctly potentially contain external contamination and other material – even in miniscule amounts – that could compromise the accuracy of the test results. ‘It is for this reason… Read More Here
