We have had three successive energy ministers [1] in just over a year and a half, and each new minister has made very convincing promises to release the IRP, with no result, to date. It seems like Minister Jeff Radebe is at risk of being the latest Minister who is unable to deliver the plan.
The importance of the country’s future electricity plan cannot be underestimated: it is critical to provide policy certainty and set our pathway to future electricity investments. Greenpeace Africa really wants to know what the problem is?! If we all agree that it is so important, then the question is: Jeff, where is the IRP?
