Result: It is least cost for any new investment in the power sector to be solar PV, wind or flexible power. South Africa can de-carbonise its electricity sector without pain: clean & cheap are no trade-offs anymore.enRenewable energyCarbon budgetIntegrated resource planningIRPDepartment of EnergyGlobal energyEnvironmental Impact AssessmentFormal comments on the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) Update Assumptions, Base Case and Observations 2016Conference PresentationWright, J.
