The South African Photovoltaic Industry Association (SAPVIA) has called for the immediate implementation of the Integrated Resource Plan 2025 (IRP 2025), which it says recognises solar PV as a cornerstone of the energy transition. While the final document is yet to be released, Electricity and Energy Minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa provided some details on October 19, including an indication that the plan envisaged 25 000 MW of new solar PV being installed by 2039.
