South Africa’s Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy Gwede Mantashe has published the country’s draft Gas Master Plan (GMP2024) for public comment.
Members of the public, stakeholders and industry experts are invited to give input until by no later than 15 June, 2024.
“To mitigate against gas supply shortages between 2026 and 2030, it is quite urgent to engage within the region to establish enablers that could unlock additional supply potential,” the draft plan says.
South Africa joined the Just Energy Transition Partnership in 2022 and is partnering the U.S., the EU and European governments to raise $8.5 billion required to fast-track the adoption of low-carbon energy solutions such as gas for grid reliability.
