South Africas repurposed Integrated National Electrification Programme INEP Action Plan sets out a detailed roadmap to achieve universal electricity access by 2030.
The plan adopts a technology-neutral approach, combining grid extensions with non-grid solutions such as microgrids, tailored to the specific challenges of each province. This was revealed during the Department of Electricity and Energy briefing to Parliaments Portfolio Committee on Electricity and Energy on October 29.
In the current financial year, the department will establish a dedicated Project Management Office, finalise a detailed implementation plan and secure the approvals required to begin execution.
