A letter from the South African Minister of Energy to the Centre for Environmental Rights regarding the government's energy policy and the coal Independent Power Producer (IPP) programme.

• The South African government's energy policy is based on a balanced energy mix that includes coal, with decisions driven by multiple factors including affordability, energy efficiency, security of supply, job creation, localisation, and commitments to reduce water usage and carbon emissions.
• The government supports techno-economic solutions for producing power from environmentally hazardous coal stockpiles, noting that one coal IPP project serves as a first-of-its-kind solution in South Africa.
• Minister Jeff Radebe asserts that the cost of IPP projects is not funded by Eskom, that Eskom's financial position is not caused by IPPs, and that 'value for money' is determined through a transparent procurement process.
