Joint working group calls for greater alignment on energy reform, industrial policy

South Africa should respond to growing geopolitical uncertainty by accelerating electricity reform, strengthening industrial policy and mobilising investment into energy infrastructure, speakers said during a joint webinar hosted by the Presidential Climate Commission (PCC), the National Planning Commission (NPC) and the President's Economic Advisory Council (PEAC) on July 29. The webinar unpacked a draft advisory note prepared jointly by the three Presidential advisory bodies, which collectively argue that energy security, industrial development, economic competitiveness and the just transition should be pursued as complementary rather than competing objectives.
