Members of Parliaments Electricity and Energy Portfolio Committee, as well as stakeholders in this industry, have expressed concern about South Africas impending gas supply challenge which could take place in the middle of 2028.
Entities like the Central Energy Fund, Sasol, the South Africa Oil and Gas Association and Business Unity South Africa, presented on the ramifications of South Africa reaching the so called gas cliff, but also tried giving solutions to the problem.
The Central Energy Funds Chairperson, Ayanda Noah says South Africas current supply of natural gas which really comes from Mozambique , Pande and Temane fields, is approaching its end and we are looking at 2028, only three years away.
We are approaching a major challenge when it comes to our energy supply chain, our industrial output, as well as the broad economic competitiveness .The importance of natural gas in our energy supply chain cannot be overstated because it is a key enabler of industrial production.
Some stakeholders in the gas industry have painted a grim picture about the impending gas supply issue and referred to it as a cliff that South Africa is facing.
