South Africa's Deputy Minister Narend Singh has urged a shift from climate policy discussions to the execution of its R3.7 trillion decarbonization pathway. This transition requires significant investment, infrastructure development, and mobilization of both private and public capital.

Key focuses include grid expansion and local hydrogen production. The Renewable Energy Masterplan aims for 29.5 GW of new capacity by 2030. The Just Energy Transition Partnership has secured over R200 billion in pledges to support electricity reform and green hydrogen development. Successful execution will depend on timely implementation of projects, investment partnerships, and addressing skills gaps.
