South Africa's state-owned power utility Eskom has decided to delay the decommissioning of three coal-fired power stations—Hendrina, Grootvlei, and Camden—until 2030. The decision, approved by Eskom's board and announced by the CEO, is aimed at preventing the national grid from becoming 'vulnerable'. The original schedule had planned for these plants to be decommissioned earlier, but the extension is seen as necessary to ensure energy stability in the country.
Global investment in power grids will need to outpace spending on renewable energy in order to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, according to BloombergNEF’s New Energy Outlook https://t.co/I9L6BnNkMh
