South Africa is making significant progress in its energy transition, with a focus on addressing issues such as climate change, energy security, and energy poverty. The Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) outlines a diverse energy portfolio aimed at catering to the country’s escalating power demands while drastically cutting down carbon emissions. South Africa is making efforts to overcome obstacles, such as limited grid capacity, the inconsistent nature of renewable energy, and outdated infrastructure. The ultimate goal is to ensure that “we leave no one behind,” and South Africa’s experience can serve as an example for other African nations.
