South African Renewable Energy Masterplan approved for implementation by Cabinet #renewables #industrialisation #SAREM @TerenceCreamer bit.ly/4c6UuoP

Big decision coming on Monday from South Africa’s environment minister @Dr_Dion_George linking ongoing waivers for @Eskom_SA meeting minimum emission standards with a more explicit commitment around closure of old coal plants and support for the nation’s energy transition. In a statement today, the Minister also criticized Eskom’s monopoly which has stifled competition and slowed the adoption of renewable energy. He called for the Transmission System Operator to be fully independent to ensure fair grid access, warning that without this step, reliance on outdated coal plants will persist.
