Have Your Say: Invitation for Public Submissions on Draft Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) 2018
The Portfolio Committee on Energy invites interested individuals and stakeholders to submit written comments on the Draft Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) 2018.
The National Development Plan (NDP) identifies the need for South Africa to invest in a strong network of economic infrastructure designed to support the country’s medium and long-term economic and social objectives. Energy infrastructure is a critical component that underpins economic activity and growth across the country; it needs to be robust and extensive enough to meet industrial, commercial and household needs.
The first IRP for South Africa was promulgated in March 2011. It was indicated at the time that the IRP should be a “living plan” which will be frequently revised by the Department of Energy (DoE).
Enquiries, as well as written submissions, can be sent to the Portfolio Committee on Energy (attention: Mr Arico Kotze), 3rd floor, WS 3/107, 90 Plein Street, Cape Town 8001, or e-mailed to akotze@parliament.gov.za. In addition to the written comments, please indicate your interest in making a verbal presentation to the Committee.
The closing date for submissions is 05 October 2018.
Copies of the Draft Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) can be obtained from Mr Arico Kotze at 021 403 3662, 083 709 8470 or www.parliament.gov.za
