# Die sonkragmaatskappy GoSolr sê waar ander lande hul oorgang na sonkrag versnel, word Suid-Afrika teruggehou met ‘n warboel regulasies wat aanvaarding van sonkrag verhinder eerder as aanmoedig. Die hoeveelheid energie van sonkrag maak nou 11,5-persent van die land se energiemengsel uit en steek die 6,6-persent wat kernkrag bydra, verby. In sy jongste Light Paper […]
# Die Internasionale Energie-agentskap sê wêreldwye belegging in energie gaan vanjaar tot ʼn rekordbedrag van 59-duisend-miljard-rand styg te midde van ekonomiese onsekerheid en kommer oor energiesekerheid. Hernubare bronne, kernkrag, kragnetwerke, energieberging, laekoolstof-brandstof en energiedoeltreffendheid sal die grootste beleggingsareas wees, terwyl beleggings in olie, aardgas en steenkool waarskynlik sal afneem. Die agentskap sê China bly die […]
# Kaapstad se burgemeester, Geordin Hill-Lewis, sê hulle maak vordering met hulle foto-voltaïese sonkragaanleg van 200-miljoen-rand in Atlantis. Sowat twee-duisend-400 van die beplande 12-duisend-850 sonpanele, wat teen die einde van die jaar krag aan die plaaslike netwerk sal verskaf, is reeds geïnstalleer. Hill-Lewis sê hierdie aanleg kan potensieel tot tien megawatt by die plaaslike netwerk […]
# Solar energy company GoSolr says while other countries are accelerating their solar transitions, South Africa is being held back by a tangle of regulations that penalise, rather than encourage, solar adoption. The amount of energy coming from solar now accounts for 11.5-percent of the country’s energy mix, outpacing the 6.6-percent nuclear energy contributes to […]
# The International Energy Agency says global energy investment is set to increase to a record 59-trillion-rand this year, amid economic uncertainty and energy security concerns. Renewables, nuclear power, power grids, energy storage, low-carbon fuels, and energy efficiency will be the main areas of net investment. Investment in oil, natural gas, and coal is set […]
# Cape Town mayor, Geordin Hill-Lewis, says they are making progress with their 200-million-rand solar photovoltaic plant in Atlantis. Around two-thousand-400 solar panels of the total planned 12-thousand-850 to power the local grid by the end of this year have been installed. Hill-Lewis says this plant can potentially scale up to ten megawatts fed directly […]
# Die omgewingsgroep, die Green Connection, het hulle opnuut daartoe verbind om maatskappye wat die omgewing besoedel, veral in die mynbousektor, verantwoordelik te hou. Ter viering van Wêreldomgewingsdag sê die organisasie Suid-Afrikaners het die reg op ‘n skoon en gesonde omgewing. Lisa Makaula, van die groep doen ‘n beroep op die regering om in hernubare […]
