Press Release

South Africa Renewable Energy Market is Expected to be Dominated by the Hydroelectric Power Sector

Growing awareness of less carbon emissions and favorable government regulations are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.


According to TechSci Research report, South Africa Renewable Energy Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast, and Opportunities, 2028, the South Africa renewable energy market is expected to grow at an impressive CAGR. There are several renewable energy sources, including geothermal, solar, wind, hydropower, and biofuels. According to estimates, renewable energy sources presently meet around 7% of the world's energy requirements. In the near future, a large increase in this proportion is anticipated. The key drivers expected to support the growth of the South African renewable energy market include growing consumer adoption of green energy, rising government initiatives to encourage the adoption of clean and green energy, rising public and private efforts to reduce carbon emissions, and rising environmental awareness regarding the negative environmental effects of fossil fuels.

The costs of renewable energy are falling as a consequence of rising technological advancements, and the market for renewable energy is expanding as a result of the rising competitiveness of battery storage systems. Huge investments are being made in the adoption of renewable energy sources because of the growing nations' concerns about climate change and ESG. To encourage sustainability and the preservation of the environment, governments of developed locations are providing subsidies to the corporate sector. These elements play a significant role inthe expansion of the market for renewable energy in South Africa.

The South Africa renewable energy market is divided into type, end user, and region. Based on type, the market is divided into hydroelectric power, wind power, bioenergy, solar energy, and geothermal energy. Based on end user, the market is divided into residential, commercial, industrial, and others. Based on region, the market is divided into Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, Northwest, Free State, and Northern Cape.

Based on type, the hydroelectric power segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The growth of the hydroelectric power segment in the South African market for renewable energy is being fueled by the growing government program to encourage the generation and use of hydropower. As a result, there is more demand for hydroelectric electricity, which has contributed to its domination in the market.

Based on end use, the residential sector is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. Residential renewable energy systems, such as geothermal heat pumps and wind or solar energy systems, can be installed to reduce energy use, minimize utility costs, and provide income for households. If there is enough land area and average wind speeds, small residential wind energy systems can produce all the home's electrical demands. These systems can also relate to solar and battery storage to offer backup power in case of emergencies. All these factors are expected to positively impact the growth of the market during the forecast period.

“South Africa is one of the most industrialized countries in Africa and has one of the largest domestic mineral reserves in the world. The majority of mining companies have large energy requirements, making them among the top electricity consumers and greenhouse gas emitters in the country. The government is now concentrating on solar energy to minimize greenhouse gas emissions. Companies are also embracing the use of solar energy. For instance, in September 2021, Exxaro Resources and Cennergi, a subsidiary of Exxaro, signed a PPA to develop the 70MW Lephalale Solar Energy project, which would generate energy to power operations at the Grootegeluk Complex coal mine in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. Due to this, the market is expected to grow in the future,” said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research, a research-based global management consulting firm.
