He said the size of the next round of renewable energy supply will be doubled to 5,200 MW.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nIt is planned to abolish the requirement of a license for projects of more than 100 MW, in particular with regard to household demand, the reduction of administrative formalities which hinder the development of renewable energy projects and the purchase of surplus electricity from private producers. This, without declaring a state of electrical emergency as the opposition and civil society wanted.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nHe added that new legislation will be submitted to Parliament as soon as possible, in order to remove the remaining legal and regulatory obstacles to the urgent introduction of new production capacities.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \n\u201cWe will waive certain regulatory requirements or simplify them where possible, within the framework of existing legislation. This includes reducing regulatory requirements for solar projects in areas of low or medium environmental sensitivity. It also means that Eskom can extend power lines and substations without the need to obtain environmental clearance in areas of low or medium sensitivity and in strategic power corridors,\u201d explained the leader.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nThis announcement comes in the wake of persistent power outages that highlight all the shortcomings of the South African electricity sector. A deleterious situation due in particular to aging infrastructure, particularly coal-fired power plants.\n\n    \n  \n\n","author":116,"featured_media":17187,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[491,745,698,1171],"location":[861],"class_list":["post-17209","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-africa","tag-energy-2","tag-news","tag-renewable-energy","location-south-africa-2"],"short_url":"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3zyaLQO","have_related_news":"done","chapo":"In South Africa, the National Planning Commission declared a few weeks ago that it was urgent to ensure the rapid establishment of new production capacities to supply the electricity networks in order to cope with the energy crisis.<br \/>\r\n","media":{"src":"https:\/\/ecomnewsafrique.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/08\/Capture-de\u0301cran-2022-07-27-a\u0300-23.16.24-550x360.png","srcset":"https:\/\/ecomnewsafrique.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/08\/Capture-de\u0301cran-2022-07-27-a\u0300-23.16.24-550x360.png 550w","sizes":"550px","alt":"Capture de\u0301cran 2022 07 27 a\u0300 23.16.24","width":550,"height":360,"ratio":0.74,"credit_photo":""},"media-news-header":{"src":"https:\/\/ecomnewsafrique.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/08\/Capture-de\u0301cran-2022-07-27-a\u0300-23.16.24-884x658.png","srcset":"https:\/\/ecomnewsafrique.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/08\/Capture-de\u0301cran-2022-07-27-a\u0300-23.16.24-884x658.png 1170w","sizes":"1170px","alt":"Capture de\u0301cran 2022 07 27 a\u0300 23.16.24","width":1170,"height":658,"ratio":0.74,"credit_photo":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.9.1 -
