Integrated Energy Plan I

Energy supply will remain reliant on coal for at least the next two decades. Diversify energy supply through increased use of natural gas and new and renewable energies. Continue investigations into nuclear options as a future new energy source. Promote the use of energy efficiency management and technologies. Maximise load factors on electricity generation plant to lower levelised lifecycle costs.

Integrated Energy Plan II

Lessen reliance on imported liquid fuels by exploring and developing oil and gas deposits. Increase existing oil refineries capacity when appropriate rather than greenfields development. Continue with existing synfuel plants and supplement with natural gas as feedstock. New electricity generation will remain coal based with potential for hydro, natural gas and nuclear capacity. Ensure environmental considerations in energy supply, transformation and end use.

Integrated Energy Plan III

Promote universal access to clean and affordable energy, with emphasis on household energy supply being coordinated with provincial and local integrated development programmes. Introduce policy, legislation and regulation for the promotion of renewable energy and energy efficiency measures and mandatory provision of energy data. Undertake integrated energy planning on an ongoing basis.
