South Africa’s cities are making “good progress” in the low carbon transition, says new @SEA_UrbanEnergy report. Cities account for 40% of SA’s total energy consumption. Energy governance, the report says, is in crisis with vested interests capturing the policy space
20yrs ago, the role of SA’s cities in the sustainable energy transition and the SCALE of their energy consumption was unknown. Today, they’re the centre of changing the country’s energy demands

“Cities are energy intensive nodes - the dominating in fuel consumption including liquid fuels and electricity from a user perspective, the transport sector emerges as the largest energy user in city” - Yachika Reddy
#soeincities2020#democratizationofenergy#SEA20yranniversary
Sifts in energy governance have been seen as many cities developed energy and climate action plans, the challenge still remains in actioning plans - shifting also from top-down planning to a flat approach that includes everyone/every stakeholder- YachikaReddy

Mobility has become a central focus on energy demand in cities, as the fastest growing source of emmissions with road transport accounting for 90% within the sector, EVs may be a means to mitigate the current spiking consumption pattern within the transport sector
Mr Holeni #Miyelaniholeni touches on
“Cities becoming more powerful than provinces/national gov due to their growing numbers and revenue generation capabilities, Policies and consensus needed to ensure
key actions taken towards lowering cities carbon footprint”
