However, the country is now embarking on a just energy transition to solar and wind power, with some coal-fired power stations expected to continue operation for a number of years.
The plan will ensure that R30 billion is available for the procurement of diesel for the Open Cycle Gas Turbine and improve energy availability factor through efficiency of power stations.
