Trade and Industrial Policy Strategies (TIPS), a South African not-for-profit research organization, has recently released a report which utilizes EGI’s ’10 Questions to Ask About Integrated Resources Planning’ framework to reflect on South Africa’s opportunities and challenges for optimal electricity planning and implementation.
The report, funded by the Trade and Industry Chamber of the National Economic Development and Labour Council (Nedlac) of South Africa, shows that overall the South African Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) performs relatively well against the 10-criteria analytical framework, though areas for improvement remain.
