Evidence shows an additional 5 GW of renewable capacity could all but end load shedding and its associated socio-economic damage.

To address the power and climate crises, massive investments in transmission infrastructure and renewables are needed over the coming years.

The main difference between EVs and hybrid cars is how they are powered. An EV gets its power exclusively from electricity, while hybrid cars – as the name suggests – run on a mix.

While fossil fuel prices soar, solar is the solution to affordable energy security, job creation and sustainable economic growth.

The Kyoto Protocol made history in 1997 as the first major international effort to slow climate change.

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular. Here are the upfront and ongoing costs to expect if you make the shift.

Lower running and maintenance costs mean EV ownership can prove an excellent investment, particularly as more affordable models become available.

Coal is the world’s dirtiest energy. A just transition from coal mining will profoundly benefit people and the environment.

Renewable energy funds are a vital tool for South Africa’s green energy transition. They can pay for everything from infrastructure upgrades to mine rehabilitation.

Energy is essential for the functioning of any modern economy. South Africa’s Central Energy Fund (CEF) does the vital job of maintaining that energy supply.

Rural development is vital for South Africa’s sustainable economic future. The farming sector is perhaps the most important, as food security and poverty reduction depend on it.

COP26 saw South Africa make a public commitment to greening its economy. But, can non-renewable resources be part of this transition?

Our fossil fuel energy system comes at a massive cost. Climate change is causing extreme temperatures, drought and catastrophic flooding.

While waiting for government measures to be implemented, many businesses are taking control of their own energy security through investment in solar.

The mission of the Department of Energy is to “regulate and transform the sector for the provision of secure, sustainable and affordable energy”.

Like many countries worldwide, South Africa has committed to reaching net zero by 2050. To achieve this, the country will need to invest heavily in renewables, including wind energy.

With the roll out of solar panels globally, solar energy is increasing in popularity as an alternative, renewable source of energy. In South Africa, this is no different.

A fuel cell uses chemical energy from fuels, like hydrogen, propane or diesel, to produce electricity. Fuel cells can use a wide range of fuels and have a wide range of applications.

Hydrogen is gaining international attention as a potential green alternative to fossil fuels. This is because hydrogen can be “green” when produced using renewable sources.

South Africa suffers from crippling power outages, locally known as load shedding. In the first three months of 2021, load shedding occurred for 650 hours.
