Trading activity across the SAPP competitive markets improved in August 2026. Total traded volume
reached 191.20 GWh, increasing by 6.1% month on month and 16.1% year on year. However, transmission
bottlenecks along the central corridor resulted in 33% of matched bids not being traded. Prices remained
low as available supply continued to exceed demand. Overall, the August results indicate stronger market
participation while underscoring the importance of improving transmission capacity allocation to support
further growth in SAPP competitive markets.
