South Africa's energy transition has become a highly topical,
emotive and politically contentious topic. Taking a systems
perspective, this book offers an evidence-based roadmap for such a
transition and debunks many of the myths raised about the risks of
a renewable-energy-led electricity mix. Owing to its formidable
solar and wind resources, South Africa has an almost unparalleled
opportunity to turn solar photovoltaic and onshore wind generators
into the country's power generation workhorses - a role hitherto
played by coal. This book shows that a renewables-led mix will not
only provide the lowest cost, but will also create more jobs than
any of the alternatives currently under consideration. In addition,
it offers a glimpse of how South Africa's low-cost and decarbonised
electricity system can power a competitive industrial economy, an
electric-mobility revolution and, in the long run, create new
export opportunities. This book will be of great interest to energy
industry practitioners, as well as students and scholars of energy
policy and politics, environmental economics and sustainable
development.
