South Africa’s cities are making “good progress” in the low carbon transition, says new @SEA_UrbanEnergy report. Cities account for 40% of SA’s total energy consumption. Energy governance, the report says, is in crisis with vested interests capturing the policy space
Twenty years ago, the role of South Africa’s cities in the sustainable energy transition and the scale of their energy consumption was unknown. Today, they’re at the forefront of changing the country’s energy demands and carbon emissions profiles. bit.ly/2VtceUR

“Cities are energy intensive nodes - the dominating in fuel consumption including liquid fuels and electricity from a user perspective, the transport sector emerges as the largest energy user in city” - Yachika Reddy #soeincities2020 #democratizationofenergy #SEA20yranniversary
#YachikaReddy- on Report key findings: “The 20 cities featured account for 38% of the national energy consumption,50% of the national electricity consumption,54% liquid fuels,close 1/3 of national carbon emmissions and produce approximately 70% of the country’s economic wealth”

Sifts in energy governance have been seen as many cities developed energy and climate action plans, the challenge still remains in actioning plans - shifting also from top-down planning to a flat approach that includes everyone/every stakeholder- YachikaReddy #soeincities2020

Mobility has become a central focus on energy demand in cities, as the fastest growing source of emmissions with road transport accounting for 90% within the sector, EVs may be a means to mitigate the current spiking consumption pattern within the transport sector
