# Eskom has launched its first Renewable Energy Offtake Programme by inviting large power users to procure 291-megawatts of solar photovoltaic capacity. This is through long-term power purchase agreements from the power utility-owned renewable energy sites. This comes as Eskom continues to develop a balanced energy mix, comprising coal, nuclear, gas, renewables, and energy storage […]
# Spanje het nog 500 soldate ontplooi om veldbrande te bestry wat onder snikhete omstandighede deur die land versprei. Dit bring die aantal soldate op een-duisend-900 te staan. ‘n Deel van die beroemde Camino de Santiago-pelgrimsroete is gister gesluit terwyl die brande na die suidelike hange van die Picos de Europa-bergreeks versprei het.

# Die DA in Limpopo vra dat ‘n onafhanklike wildbestuurspesialis dringend die toekoms van die renosters ondersoek wat vanuit Polokwane hervestig is. Die renosters is in 2017 na ‘n onbekende reservaat verskuif na ‘n stropingsvoorval. Mariëtte Pretorius van die DA sê ‘n onafhanklike bestuurspesialis moet ‘n koste- en waarde-ontleding doen en aanbevelings doen oor die […]
# ‘n Verslag beklemtoon Afrika moet meer van sy eie klimaatberade hou om ‘n billike ooreenkoms oor die uitfasering van fossielbrandstowwe en die befondsing van hernubare energie te verseker. Down To Earth glo Afrika benodig ongeveer 33-duisend-miljard-rand vir die oorgang teen 2030, maar die meeste klimaatfondse behels lenings wat skuld verhoog. Afrika het byna 600-miljoen […]
# Die Namibiese Hawe-owerheid het op die nippertijie ‘n voorkwalifikasietender vir ‘n nuwe olie- en gasvoorsieningsbasis in Lüderitz gekanselleer, slegs dae nadat dit bekendgestel is.

# A new report has stressed that Africa should hold more of its own climate summits to secure a fair deal on phasing out fossil fuels and financing renewable energy. According to Down To Earth, Africa needs approximately 33-trillion-rand by 2030 to transition, but most climate funds arrive as debt-inducing loans. Despite contributing less than […]
# Eskom het wel ‘n verbetering in sy bedryfsprestasie getoon, maar volgens Stanlib se hoofekonoom, Kevin Lings, belê Suid-Afrikaanse ondernemings steeds toenemend in alternatiewe energiebronne om afhanklikheid van die kragverskaffer te verminder en stygende elektrisiteitskoste te versag. ‘n Verslag deur Green Cape het beraam die privaat sektor sal teen 2030 ‘n verdere ses-duisend-megawatt sonkrag en […]
