South Africa
Climate targets: Energy
-
-
A 50% reduction in the specific energy consumption (measured as GJ annual energy consumption per m2 of occupied floor area) by 2030 relative to a 2015 baseline.
-
A 20% reduction in the energy intensity (measured as energy consumption per head of population served) of municipal service provision. The specific services included are streetlighting, traffic lights, water supply and wastewater treatment.
-
A 37% reduction in the specific energy consumption (measured as GJ annual energy consumption per m2 of lettable/habitable floor area) by 2030 relative to a 2015 baseline.
-
A 16% reduction in weighted mean specific energy consumption in manufacturing by 2030 relative to a 2015 baseline.
-
A cumulative total annual energy saving of 40 PJ arising from specific energy saving intervention undertaken by mining companies.
-
A total electricity saving of 1 PJ through officially supported projects by 2030.
-
A total of 10 PJ of electricity derived from grid-connected cogeneration plant by 2030.
-
Average total electricity distribution losses below 8% by 2030, and average non-technical losses below 0.5%.
-
A 33% reduction in the average specific energy consumption of new household appliances purchased in South Africa by 2030 relative to a 2015 baseline.
-
A 20% improvement in the average energy performance of the residential building stock by 2030 relative to a 2015 baseline, as measured by the energy consumption (excluding plug loads) per square meter of habitable space.
