Recent years have seen an increasing focus around climate change, and the highly pressing need for a transition towards sustainable energy generation. South Africa is part of this global movement, and is taking a lead role in the development of sustainable energy sources and reducing our impact on the climate.
Climate change is of major importance due to its effects on the environment, including changes to temperature, sea levels, weather systems, biodiversity and more. The effects of climate change are not only global in scale, but also local, impacting on the quality of life of millions of South African citizens. It is vital for us to take concrete steps to mitigate and adapt to climate change, and to transition to more sustainable energy sources in order to reduce our output of carbon dioxide and other harmful emissions.
In the South African context, significant progress has been made toward a more sustainable energy model. This progress has been underpinned by the Department of Energy’s Integrated Resource Plan, which envisages the use of a wide range of energy sources, from traditional to renewable.
One of the notable achievements of the IRP is the commitment to increasing the country’s use of renewable energy sources, with a target of coming to generate 42% of South Africa’s energy through renewable sources by 2030. Currently, solar and wind energy are being developed as the primary renewable energy sources that will drive this transition. This approach has been made viable by a number of renewable energy storage technologies being developed in South Africa, allowing us to better store and manage our use of energy generated by renewable sources.
Alongside the development of renewable energy sources, there is also progress to be made in terms of energy efficiency. South Africa is introducing an energy efficiency framework, aimed at improving the efficiency of energy use in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. This framework will lead to significant cost savings for citizens and businesses, strengthening the case for an efficient and low carbon economy.
In order for us to transition to a more sustainable energy model, businesses and citizens must have access to reliable and affordable energy sources. This is where Qiktruck can help.
