        Integrated resource plan (2025)

        The plan outlines a USD 121 billion (R2.23 trillion) investment plan to drive the government's effort to grow the economy and transition toward a Net Zero electricity sector by 2050. It plans to increase renewables from approximately 17 GW to more than 45 GW by 2030, to anticipate a phased decline of the coal fleet from 42 GW in 2024 to 28 GW by 2034 and to connect new generation source by 14,494 km of new lines by 2034.

The plan includes measures to control fossil fuel consumption, increase non-fossil energy use, and implement energy-saving initiatives in industries such as steel, petrochemicals, and transportation. Targets include reducing energy consumption per unit of GDP by 2.5% and carbon emissions per unit of GDP by 3.9% in 2024, increasing the share of non-fossil energy consumption to 18.9% in 2024 and 20% in 2025, and achieving energy savings equivalent to 50 million tons of standard coal and reducing carbon emissions by 130 million tons by 2025.

        This plan covers five key dimensions: decarbonization (including greenhouse gas emission reduction and renewable energy targets), energy efficiency, energy security, the internal energy market, and research, innovation, and competitiveness. It sets national targets for 2030, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing the share of RES and energy efficiency, and details the policies and measures planned across various sectors to reach these goals.The plan was revised in 2025 and introduced specific new measures such as the decommissioning of coal power plants and the creation of a program to combat "mobility poverty".

        2021 New Energy Feed-in Tariff Policy

        From 2021, the central government will no longer subsidise newly registered centralized photovoltaic power stations, industrial and commercial distributed photovoltaic projects, and newly approved onshore wind power projects. These projects will implement grid parity, with feed-in tariffs based on local benchmark prices for coal-fired power generation.
