PCEE Stakeholder Presentations – Energy Sector Priorities (2025–2030)

Dear Energy Council Members,

As communicated last week, the Portfolio Committee on Electricity and Energy (PCEE) convened a two-day session inviting key stakeholders to share their perspectives on South Africa’s energy sector and outline priority areas for the next five years (2025–2030).

The Energy Council was among the invited contributors, and I’ve already shared our submission titled “Accelerating South Africa’s Energy Transition: From Reform to Implementation.”

Kindly find attached the Teams link to access the full set of presentations and notes submitted by other stakeholders during the session.
