Accelerating Renewables Roll-Out in South Africa

South Africa currently faces a serious energy crisis with regular loadshedding due to a 6-10 GW effective generation capacity gap. This study provides a potential solution to accelerate renewable capacity deployment as an emergency, temporary programme to help alleviate this short-term energy crisis.

More Land for Wind Energy

To accelerate the necessary expansion of onshore wind in Germany, significantly more qualified areas must be made available for wind energy. Targeted changes in federal planning law can increase the availability of land rapidly and with legal certainty.
