Court bars South Africa from building new coal plants

The high court has upheld a legal challenge to the government’s plan to procure 1.5GW of new coal-fired power.

Energy minister Gwede Mantashe said expecting a rapid transition to clean energy would be “very wrong”.

South Africa has moved a step closer towards creating a competitive electricity market.

A presidential commission said the energy ministry has an inadequate plan to tackle the country’s power supply crisis.

The draft Integrated Resource Plan contains huge errors in costing the different future energy scenarios.

South Africa’s updated energy blueprint envisions more than 100GW of new generation capacity being built by 2050.
