Ramakgopa said South Africa has good reason to pin its hopes on China to help resolve the energy crisis.
"It was the biggest installed coal generation capacity of any country in the world. They have got the biggest installed renewable energy capacity of any country in the world about 688 megawatts."
The minister said China also has the best technology to help Eskom lower its emission levels.
