battery storage is similarly set to grow exponentially, to 4.7TWh per annum by 2030 (compared to about 700GWh in 2022).8 In South Africa, the rollout of renewable energy technologies is similarly set to increase rapidly, as the country aims to achieve energy security for all as well as decarbonise its electricity supply.
Dependent on a clear project pipeline and regulatory outlook, the South African market can leverage its bond markets and advanced sustainable debt regulation to (re-)finance renewables projects. This offers investors the possibility to invest in suitable assets that fulfil their ESG mandates.
South Africa’s 2020-30 allocation of 14.4GW of new wind capacity and 4GW of new PV capacity under the 2019 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) presents an investment opportunity for $30 billion into new wind and solar assets by 2030. This would represent a 50% increase in investment into wind and solar compared to the previous decade.
The South African financial ecosystem is well placed to (re-)finance greenfield and brownfield renewables projects through a variety of entities and instruments. In addition, access to international markets opens up further avenues to finance.
Global energy transition investment and sustainable debt issuance reached a record high in 2020, but flows continue to be concentrated in the world’s wealthiest countries and a select group of trail-blazing emerging markets.
