One-year progress report says rooftop installations have doubled since start of Energy Action Plan

Despite ongoing loadshedding, President Cyril Ramaphosa has moved to highlight some of the implementation progress under the Energy Action Plan (EAP), which marked its first anniversary in late July, including a doubling of rooftop solar installations. The President’s weekly newsletter coincided with the release of a one-year progress report on the EAP, which covers developments under the plan’s five pillars, which include: fixing Eskom and improving the availability of existing supply; enabling and accelerating private investment in generation capacity; fast-tracking the procurement of new generation and storage capacity; unleashing investment by businesses and households into rooftop solar; and transforming the electricity sector to achieve long-term energy security.
