President Cyril Ramaphosa’s plan to arrest a degradation in the prevailing electricity generation deficit issue in South Africa has been welcomed by several organisations as a measure that took into account consultation from various perspectives, as well as one that addresses rolling out new generation capacity in an environment-friendly way.

On July 25, Ramaphosa  presented an energy plan, which renewable energy advocacy movement 350Africa.org believes represents a major step forward in tackling the country’s energy and climate crisis through renewable energy.
