We're all about dual land usage that optimises space for renewable energy, with turbines soaring high above everyday farming activities. Only the 30m x 60m area around each turbine remains clear, leaving ample room for dairy farms and crop fields to flourish below.

[The Presidency 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA]

President @CyrilRamaphosa today announced that the licensing threshold for embedded generation projects would be lifted to 100 MW. This will unlock significant new investment in the energy sector and reduce the risk of load shedding. #SONA2021 #OperationVulindlela

Ah, but hundreds of thousands of jobs could be created if there’s a proactive transition to clean energy, with regular big auctions + deregulation of distributed generation. That requires leadership and an energy ministry out front, not stuck in the past https://t.co/cMsLNVtkdj

Solar PV now down to € 1.1 c/kWh. That’s ZAR 22 c/kWh. @Eskom_SA’s average tariff is ZAR 116 c/kWh

[Anton Eberhard @AntonEberhard]

Every day of delay in implementing South Africa’s IRP electricity plan (and regulatory reform for distributed generation) means another day of @Eskom_SA power cuts

@_sawea @GwedeMantashe1 @DMR_SA @Energy_ZA That is great news

Some question whether renewable energy can contribute to reliable electricity - the sun doesn’t always shine, wind doesn’t always blow, right? Well here’s how. An example from the UK over the past 4 days, complemented with gas, meeting full demand. Imagine larger solar here in SA
