Renewable energy job statistics Presentation to 90 by 2030 Johannesburg 28 November 2017
Introduction IRP2016 update contains South Africa’s “energy transition” whichever • scenario we choose. – 27,5 GW of coal-fired plant planned to be decommissioned – Replaced by lots of renewables (“least cost”) or nuclear (“forced nuclear”) Challenge is that IRP doesn't ’ t consider socio-economic implications in its • calculations – The “jobs lost” and “jobs created” narrative only tells half the story • Coal miners don ’ t see any PV or wind farms in MPM • No coherent industrialization strategy whether we go mass renewables or nuclear • Can the current mining work-force be re-skilled for the 4IR? Try to set out some of the stats from South Africa’s experience in • renewables so far, and elsewhere in the world

Global stats Global RE sector employed 9,8 million people in 2016 – 1,1% • increase over 2015 Solar PV is the largest employers. • In stark contrast with coal industry jobs which saw major • decline in China, India, Europe and USA due to closure of power plant closure, overcapacity and mining mechanization . Global oil & gas facing similar pressures due to low prices • and oversupply
The energy transition IRP 2016 Update envisions the closure of 27,5 GW of coal fired plant by • 2040. The consequences on the economies seem to vary – Loss of up to 30 000 Eskom and associated supplier jobs (CTF February 2017) – Estimates of between 60 - 65,000 job losses in the coal mining industry up to 2040 However maintaining the status quo on Eskom operations will have • consequences to job statistics in South Africa – Up to 47,000 jobs at risk if Eskom gets 19,9% increase (COM, October 2017) No strategic plan for reskilling at present • Too simplistic an approach to expect renewable energy to be the silver • bullet – Eskom price path is an effective job killer no matter how much excess capacity is available – Renewable energy’s most powerful economic enabler is unlocking parts of the economy through low prices and flexibility
