Johannesburg - The Department of Energy will on Tuesday unveil the long-awaited draft Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) and Integrated Energy Plan (IEP) documents.
This follows Cabinet’s directive on November 2 to the department to release the two documents for public consultation.
The IEP aims to guide future energy infrastructure investments over the period up to 2050, and identify and recommend policy options to shape the future energy landscape of the country, the department says.
It is a long-term energy framework to guide the selection of appropriate technologies to meet energy demand.
The IRP, on the other hand, guides government’s plan for electricity provision within the energy mix.
It laid out the proposed generation new build fleet for South Africa for the period 2010 to 2030.
