Description

In November 2010, The South African Department of Energy released their Integrated Resource Plan (IRP2010) for electricity. The plan outlines the country's approach to developing the electricity infrastructure required to support the country over the period to 2030. This service analyses the key topics of the price path, the structure of the IRP2010 and the economic impact of the price path. The service also offers some recommendations for government and the utility in order to find a "justifiable" price path for the country. "Justifiable" in this context is defined as meeting all stakeholder requirements and allowing South Africa to maintain its comparative advantage of cheap electricity pricing.
