# Renewable energy company Seriti Green has welcomed the updated Integrated Resource Plan 2025, saying it’s a great step forward. The IRP envisages some 2.2-trillion-rand of new investment into the energy sector. This will see wind power increase from eight-percent of installed generation capacity to 24-percent by 2039. Coal will remain the chief source of power at 27-percent of South Africa’s capacity. Seriti Green’s CEO, Peter Venn, says with wind projects taking nine years to put on the grid, government must allow these projects to get off the ground more quickly.
