Solar South Africa

Renewable Energy in South Africa
South Africa, the most industrialized country in Africa, is heavily dependent on traditional fuels which makes it one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gas emissions in the world. Coal provides about 75% of the demand for fossil fuels and accounts for 90% of electricity generation in the country. A smooth transition towards a low carbon society requires a diversification of energy resources to other forms of energy, particularly renewable energy. The country has abundant sunshine, good wind regimes and raw materials Biomass could provide interesting enough ways to replenish energy and fight against environmental degradation.
According to the Government White Paper on Renewable Energy Policy (2003), renewable energy projects aim to provide the equivalent of 10,000 GWh in 2013, wind, solar, biomass and hydro resources. Some of the biggest projects that are under development include wind farm and the Darling Plan Bethlehem hydro. Other projects such as landfill gas and hydroelectric stations are already contributing. South Africa, like other developing countries, faces the dual challenge of pursuing economic growth and environmental protection, and energy systems Sustainable offers the possibility to solve this problem.
South Africa, like other emerging countries face the dual challenge of continued growth Economic and environmental protection. South Africa has put in place the institutional infrastructure for renewable energy projects that start pay dividends in the form of large investments from foreign as well as local investors and the development of commercial solar, wind and biomass energy projects. The South African government's recent adoption and implementation of renewable energy feed-in tariffs, undermining the support of State regulations for drivers to enhance the clean technology sector.
