Freeze new coal plants, or SA's economy will bear the cost - report

30 Jul 2021

Delaying the transition away from coal would come at a "considerable" cost to the economy, according to new research.
 
A research report on the coal value chain of South Africa - authored by economists Dr Neva Makgetla and Muhammed Patel of the independent economic research institute Trade & Industrial Policy Strategies (TIPS) - recommends that government take key policy decisions on the country's energy transition. Among these include freezing proposals for new private coal plants and ending new tenders meant to replace the failed private coal projects Thabametsi and Khanyisa.
