I hereby move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes the prolonged and unacceptable inability of the National Energy Regulator of SA, Nersa, to incentivise industry players to invest heavily in renewable energy, considering that the whole country is waiting for such a development;
2) further notes the unacceptability of the recent turnaround by Nersa, which published decreased feed-in tariffs for electricity from the various renewable technologies over the coming years; and
3) acknowledges the urgent need for government to prioritise renewable energy in order for South Africa to reduce its considerable carbon footprint.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
