Meridian Economics says using gas could potentially threaten SA’s transition to cleaner energy and expose exports to higher carbon-linked taxes
SA’s plan to build large-scale gas-fired power plants as it transitions from coal has become outdated, with renewable technologies becoming cheaper and pressure mounting to curb its carbon emissions, a Meridian Economics study has found.
An energy blueprint for SA released three years ago envisions as much as 3,000MW of electricity being generated from natural gas, which isn’t produced domestically in big quantities, by 2027. That figure could rise, with proposals under consideration to use gas to add emergency supply to the grid.

ENERGY SOLUTIONS OP-ED: A load of hot air – gas-fired power generation for South Africa is an expensive dead-end streetLarge-scale gas use for power generation is central to energy policy direction in South Africa, but this policy rests on an outdated 2012 vision. The only economically rational role for gas in power generation is now as a fuel for peaking plants – a small, intermittent but crucial role currently provided by diesel.
