South Africa's energy transition: a roadmap to a decarbonised, low-cost and job-rich future

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.
