Why Energy Reduction is Critical in South Africa
• 92.6% Of South Africa’s Electricity is produced by environmentally unfriendly coal-fired power plants.
• 26% of the 2016 developing infrastructure budget was spent on electricity generation (R284billion*
26%).
• 40.9% of Electricity in SA is consumed by Industrial customers – 98.16 Billion kWh.
• If 10% of Industrial users save 10% on consumption then 0.9816 Billion kWh or Nine Hundred and
eighty one million, six hundred thousand kWh would be saved.
