This fact sheet describes the objectives and approach of South Africa's Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) 2025, focusing on balancing energy supply security, cost minimization, and emission reductions.

• The primary goals of the IRP in the South African context are to ensure security of supply by balancing supply with demand, minimizing the total cost of electricity to the economy through least-cost power system planning, and reducing the environmental impact of electricity supply by planning for reductions in local and global emissions.
• The IRP 2025 utilizes a moderate Energy Availability Factor (EAF), which represents the percentage of generation capacity available to meet the country's electricity demand, based on the assumption of partial implementation of the generation capacity.
