Electrical Power Systems and Mining Equipment are considered best prospects for U.S. energy exports to South Africa. South Africa supplies two-thirds of Africa’s electricity and remains a low-cost, subsidized electricity producer. To learn more about the electrical power systems sector in SA, click here.
