This document is a formal objection submitted by the Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) to the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) regarding the proposed use of Karpowerships in Saldanha Bay. The CER argues that the project is inconsistent with South Africa's climate commitments, lacks transparency, and fails to consider cheaper, cleaner energy alternatives.

The Illustrative People’s Energy Plan (IPEP), developed by WWF South Africa and the Energy Systems Research Group (ESRG) at the University of Cape Town, serves as a model for a transparent, climate-friendly energy plan for South Africa. It aims to show how the country can fulfill climate commitments while maintaining affordable and reliable energy, filling a gap left by the absence of a national Integrated Energy Plan (IEP) for over twenty years.
