South Africa has approved the Renewable Energy Masterplan (SAREM) with the aim of securing energy and boosting industrial growth in the country. This strategic plan provides a roadmap for the development of renewable energy and battery storage, addressing local capacity, infrastructure, and investment challenges. With an expected doubling of electricity demand by 2040, the plan offers a pathway for investors to advance power projects. The plan targets significant growth in the renewable energy market, focusing on grid resilience through investments in generation and transmission infrastructure. The Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) revised in 2023 sets ambitious targets for new capacity by 2030, including a substantial portion from wind and solar energy. SAREM emphasizes the importance of solar, wind, lithium-ion, and vanadium-based battery technologies for industrial development. South Africa, along with Egypt, is expected to lead Africa's power generation in 2025 according to the African Energy Chamber's 'State of African Energy 2025 Outlook.' SAREM also looks towards green hydrogen as part of meeting international fuel blending obligations by 2030. African Energy Week (AEW) will delve into the impact of SAREM on the country's energy landscape, bringing together policymakers, energy operators, and investors to drive investment aligned with eradicating energy poverty. The event will explore topics such as energy security, renewable energy scaling, and public-private collaboration, focusing on investment opportunities in the energy sector.
