South Africa’s 2030 decarbonisation target at risk, climate commission warns

The Presidential Climate Commission (PCC) is cautioning that South Africa may miss its 2030 decarbonisation target in light of a decision to further delay the decommissioning of three aged coal power stations and if new clean sources are not introduced in line with the country’s electricity generation roadmap. The warning is contained in the commission’s inaugural ‘South African State of Climate Action’ report, released on July 25.
