The North West Department of Electricity and Energy says South Africas G20 Presidency will greatly benefit the country as it plans to expand its nuclear power generation capacity.
South Africas nuclear energy programme has been in operation since 1984.
The department will convene the third G20 Energy Transitions Working Group meeting at Sun City.
Stakeholders will collaborate and share knowledge, including information about the role of nuclear energy in mitigating the effects of climate change. This as South Africa is actively transitioning from its reliance on coal-fired power plants to renewable energy sources and expansion of its nuclear programme.
This is key to economic growth, job creation, and the move to clean energy.
