Ramaphosa calls for public comments on SA’s just energy transition investment plan: South Africa’s commitment to address the global challenge of climate change can never be doubted, Ramaphosa said.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has asked the public to weigh in on SA's ambitious just energy transition investment plan.
“As was the case with the investment plan, the implementation plan will be led by the South African government and our social partners. It will be developed in accordance with our self-determined climate policy goals as outlined in our NDC, so as to ensure a structured, phased and well-sequenced transition process,” said Ramaphosa.
“The effects of which we are already experiencing in SA in that we continue to face all of the calamities that are given rise by climate change. In the east of our country we have continuous flooding that destroys public infrastructure, homes and businesses.”“This plan outlines the scale of need and investments that will be required to achieve our decarbonisation commitments.
He said more investment will be needed for the transmission and distribution networks in areas such as the Northern Cape. “The plan makes it clear that the scale of funding that is required to achieve our country’s ambition is significantly higher than the funding that has been offered through the just energy transition partnership.”
