At $307 billion in , investment volumes in renewable energy and storage are, however, far from the necessary levels to achieve this: BNEF estimates that expanding and decarbonizing the power system to stay on track for warming of as much as 1.75 degrees Celsius would require over $2 trillion

The study defines a trajectory to based on current government policies and plans and identifies the options for additional renewables deployment by energy-use sector and technology. The Republic of South Africa is the third-largest economy in Africa and the highest primary energy consumer on

Globally, solar photovoltaic (solar PV) and wind energy technologies reached, on average, US$0.048 and US$0.033 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) respectively in .1 In South Africa, they similarly reached R0.375 per kWh for solar PV and R0.344 per kWh for wind energy technologies in .2 Economic

, which brings together leading companies committed to 100% renewable electricity. More information on RE100 can be found at RE100. Acknowledgement is also due to the RAiSE partners— National Business Initiative (NBI), Cli ate Group, and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development

This report shows that the levelised cost of producing renewables already competes favourably with the three main alternatives, namely coal, gas and nuclear, supporting WWF-SA’s call for a more ambitious Integrated Energy Plan that provides for an 11-19% share of electricity capacity by
