Government Pauses Renewable Energy Push

The government just handed itself a powerful new tool to slow down South Africa’s renewable energy push — a two-year pause on the Integrated Resource Plan, now under the Minister of Home Affairs’ control. Claiming it’s to protect household budgets, the move signals a potential slowdown from the original aggressive targets, like 85% renewables by 2035. Critics worry it could inflate bills or scare off investors, while supporters hope it’ll keep energy affordable — but everyone’s waiting to see what comes next.
