Wind energy Investment Delegation to South Africa 10-14 October 2022
South Africa has set ambitious goals to out phase its coal plants and as Denmark and South Africa signed a green strategic partnership in February, Denmark is in a favorable position of strengthening the relations within the energy sector in South Africa.
MODERNIZING THE ENERGY SECTOR IN SOUTH AFRICA
Today, South Africa generates no less than 45% of all electricity in Africa. However, over 80% of all South African electricity production is based on coal plants. Moreover, the country’s electricity utility, Eskom, experiences repeated breakdowns of its outdated coal-fired power plants and have appealed for urgent and coordinated public-private action to close the immediate electricity shortfall of up to 6GW and to prepare for the replacement of 22GW of coal that will be shut down over the next 14 years.
