The Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) has secured over R300 billion in investments, aiming to eliminate loadshedding by 2025. South Africa's solar PV installations reached 3.2GW by Q1 2023, with projections of 10GW by 2030.

To support power delivery, R440 billion is needed for 14,000km of transmission infrastructure. The National Transmission Company of South Africa (NTCSA) was formed in June 2024 to oversee these developments.

A R12.8 billion Battery Energy Storage program was launched to enhance grid availability. Companies like Polarium and Seriti Green are also contributing to renewable energy capacity through local manufacturing and new projects.
