ImpactAlpha, August 26 – South Africa is a laggard in the renewable energy transition. By 2030, the South Africa wants to reduce coal’s role in its energy mix to 46% and boost clean and renewably-based generation to more than 30% (including hydro and nuclear power). Today, the country is 90% coal-powered.
