Ambitious commitment for renewables in theIntegrated Resource Plan (IRP) – up to 19 GW by 2030
Implementation through Renewables Flagship Programme (RFP).
Initially funded through electricity tariff – would impose incremental costs rising to US$1billion/year, or an overall present value of US$9 billion.
IRP is a ‘living plan’ volume of renewables can be adjusted if circumstances change.

ProvisionalPotential results of a first critical mass of renewables
• Carbon mitigated: 575 Mt by 2049 or 27Mt per annum at full ramp-up.
• Reduction from Business as Usual: by 2025 would contribute 7% of South Africa’s Cancun agreement target.
• Decarbonization of South African exports: green house gas intensity of exports reduced by 20% by 2025.
Carbon
Economic• Employment: 35,000 – 40,000 new jobs created at peak.
• Investment: directly in the region of $36 bn investment in renewables capacity by 2030.Financing/

• Electricty supply: 19GW by 2030 as laid out in IRP, providing 9% of electricity supply. Energy

Aim
Objective
To catalyse South Africa towards a green growth pathway and support the implementation of the climate change and energy planning policies.
To design and establish the financing arrangements needed to enable a critical mass of renewables to be developed, without incurring unacceptable incremental cost burdens on South Africa.
Key Summary
Partners
Supported by an international public partnership of other governments and international finance institutions willing to support South Africa in this effort.
