DA to launch Energy Plan Implementation Tracker to hold govt accountable

The Democratic Alliance (DA) announced on Tuesday that it will monitor government’s progress in its energy plan and hold it to account with the launch of the party’s Energy Plan Implementation Tracker. On Monday evening, President Cyril Ramaphosa unveiled several far-reaching interventions – including a doubling in the allocation for the next renewables procurement round, the scrapping of the 100 MW licence-exemption threshold for distributed generators and a proposal of a feed-in tariff for self-generating households and businesses – as part of a much-anticipated action plan for ending load-shedding.
