Another headline would be electricity market regulators globally have *a couple of years* to rejig their energy & capacity valuation mechanisms to send the right signals for more demand response as well as short through long term storage & transmission, or there_will_be_chaos_🤣

South Africa needs a modernised electricity system that fosters inclusive economic growth, meets minimum emissions standards and aims for the bottom end of the NDC, enabling cheaper cost of capital and access to trade. We need bold ambition. #JustEnergyTransition

SA is one of the best locations in the world to build a #greensteel value chain.
Great engagement today with the iron & steel value chain and stakeholders hosted by @the_dti with LeadIT and @TIPS__news to unpack the pathway(s) to seize the opportunity for the benefit of all in SA

@Jesse_Burton @nickhedley @Bruceps @bataille_chris @HiltonTrollip They are looking to procure some renewable power, so I think this issue of the clean electricity source would only be temporary... https://t.co/ULPvr8XT6Q

@Jesse_Burton @nickhedley @Bruceps @bataille_chris @HiltonTrollip Wonder if AMSA will get the approval for roughly 200MW considering the current lack of capacity in the country? #Loadshedding.

$8.5bn Just Energy Transition Partnership with South Africa: a first of its kind agreement between a coal-intensive developing country and a group of donor governments to work together and fund a just transition away from coal. This is a big deal.

In the run up to COP 26, The Economist's "To a Lesser Degree" podcast highlights key issues, including the financial challenges faced by developing countries who need support from rich countries to scale up their transition.

We can delay the decision on nuclear, while we should in the meantime make use of our renewable resources to expand capacity much faster until a time like small modular nuclear reactors might be commercially viable that could compliment our power system https://t.co/lTO6uCyz4l

There’s a lovely upward spiral in steel decarbonization ambition happening. 2025 is the earliest anyone has declared they would be selling H2 DRI EAF steel 👏😄. I suspect @Teresaribera has something to do with this. @HiltonTrollip @BryceMcCall4 @MTorresGunfaus @IDDRI_English

[Bryce McCall @BryceMcCall4]

@bataille_chris @Teresaribera @HiltonTrollip @MTorresGunfaus @IDDRI_English Haha. I was just about to tweet this! This is great. Now for South Africa to jump on this wagon and make some money too!

@chrisyelland @DailyFriendSA Making it difficult if not impossible for industry to deploy their own generation only adds to this growing problem.
