SA should target 50% renewable energy by 2030 - WWF

In this Engineering News article, WWF revealed in its report titled 'Renewable energy in a just transition to sustainable electricity supply' "that South Africa had the potential to rapidly upscale its use of renewable energy, and with a combination of energy-efficiency measures, this would result in cheaper electricity over the medium term.

The report also introduced the sustainable national accessible power planning (Snapp) tool, which was commissioned by the WWF, and was freely available on the Internet. The Snapp tool allowed for interrogation of government's proposed energy plan, and allowed for the modelling of different energy scenarios, depending on the different inputs made."
