A letter from Greenpeace Africa to South Africa's Minister of Energy, Jeff Radebe, dated 7 March 2018, requesting a meeting to discuss the country's energy trajectory and the update of the Integrated Energy Plan (IEP) and Integrated Resource Plan (IRP).
Key insights
- Greenpeace Africa campaigns in South Africa for a transition that moves away from nuclear power and coal in favor of energy efficiency and renewable energy.
- Greenpeace Africa requested a meeting with Minister Jeff Radebe in March or April 2018 to discuss the energy trajectory of South Africa and the importance of the Integrated Energy Plan (IEP) and the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP).
- The organization asserts that the current IEP/IRP process has contained substantial flaws. They argue that an inadequate plan will fail to provide the least-cost electricity for South Africa, hinder the promotion of environmental and social justice, and prevent the country from meeting its international obligations regarding climate change.
- The letter highlights that South Africa is a water-scarce nation facing potentially catastrophic climate change, noting that at the time of the Minister's appointment, the country was experiencing a national water crisis across three provinces and a fiscal crisis at Eskom.
