Even using the cleanest technology available, coal’s severe environmental, health and climate consequences remain unavoidable.

Nersa is proposing a new electricity pricing structure to reflect South Africa’s evolving and diversifying energy market.

The place of natural gas in a clean energy future is hotly debated. But, there is a simple answer to whether natural gas is renewable.

Compressed natural gas (CNG) is promoted as a cleaner fuel alternative, but also comes with risks to the climate and health.

If current carbon emission trends continue, South Africa might actually be on track to meet its 2030 emissions targets under the Paris Agreement. This is according to research done by the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE). And the reason for this? Mostly load shedding. The data was revealed in the DFFE’s 2023 […]

Generating electricity from fossil fuels has a hidden cost: South Africa’s already scarce supply of fresh water.

Investing in energy storage can quickly address load shedding and lay the foundations for a cleaner, more secure power system, said the IISD.

Energy storage such as grid batteries and pumped hydro can address the electricity crisis and ease load-shedding, according to the new study.
