# Environmental organisations have expressed concern at the government’s renewed interest in gas-to-power projects in the draft Integrated Resource Plan. They are warning that the proposed addition of up to 19-gigawatts of gas capacity may risk locking the country into long-term fossil fuel dependency, while potentially driving up energy costs, and worsening inequality. Green Connection says they are demanding transparent modelling, full public participation, and a plan that delivers affordable, climate-safe energy to all South Africans.
