Electricity Portfolio Dashboard
Portfolio Overview
The Electricity portfolio focuses on (i) transmission upgrades and expansion to unlock large-scale grid uptake of renewables, and (ii) ACT IP interventions (repowering, repurposing, community development, and decommissioning at Camden, Grootvlei, Hendrina, Kriel, and Arnot). JET concessional loans of USD 3.64 bn (ZAR 64.43 bn) are available for transmission via the National Transmission Company of South Africa (NTCSA), established in 2024; however, Eskom's borrowing constraints under National Treasury's debt relief programme remain a factor. The Independent Transmission Programme (ITP) Phase 1 announced seven pre-qualified bidders on 15 December 2025, with procurement scheduled for 2026. The Credit Guarantee Vehicle (CGV), under preparation by National Treasury and the World Bank Group, is expected to launch in H2 2026 to de-risk private capital for ITP procurement. The Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) published on 17 October 2025 confirms the 2030 closure target for five coal power stations.

Snapshot Pilot Core Indicators
The Core Indicators are a proxy for expected outcomes across the JET IP. Individual projects have their own M&E Frameworks with project-specific indicators not measured by the JET IP.
This section presents a snapshot of pilot data from 16 projects that reported on Core Indicators during the Q3 2025 reporting cycle (ending 30 September 2025), and is referenced in Q4 2025 reporting as no new Core Indicator data were received. The data were submitted by one IPG partner contributing to the first round of pilot reporting. Results should be understood as preliminary, indicative findings that will expand as additional partners adopt the framework in future reporting cycles.
⚠️ Pilot Data: These data represent 16 projects (7.05% coverage) of the 227 projects in the JET Investment Register, by number of projects rather than value of funding pledged.
⚠️ Q4 2025 Note: No new Core Indicator data were received for Q4 2025. Table 14 therefore reflects the same snapshot pilot data reported in Q3 2025 (ending 30 September 2025).

Projects Reporting by Core Indicator (Snapshot Pilot Sample: 16 Projects)
Notes on Core Indicator Reporting
- Non-representative sample: These data represent 16 projects (7.05% of the 227 projects in the JET Investment Register), by number of projects rather than volume of pledge. This is a non-representative pilot sample from one IPG partner.
- Reporting scope: Not all projects are relevant to all five Core Indicators. Projects report only on Core Indicators relevant to their intervention. Percentages indicate the proportion of the 16 reporting projects that submitted data on each indicator.
- Reporting frequency: Quarterly reporting on Core Indicators is not compulsory for JET partners. Inception submissions establish baselines; thereafter, reporting follows individual project cycles.
- Planned vs Actuals: A key distinction exists between planned indicator performance (targets for the project period, Jun/Sep 2023–Dec 2026) and actual indicator performance reported to date (30 Sept 2025). Actuals are reported cumulatively from project start to end. Where actuals are not yet available (e.g., projects in pre-commissioning phase), only planned results are shown.
- Preliminary findings: Results should be understood as preliminary, indicative findings that will expand as additional partners adopt the Core Indicators framework in future reporting cycles.
