Renewable energy in South Africa is energy generated from renewable sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, and biomass. South Africa has a large potential for renewable energy, and the government has set ambitious targets for the country to generate 42% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. The country has already made significant progress in this area, with the first large-scale solar and wind farms being built in recent years. South Africa is also investing in energy storage technologies to help manage the variability of renewable energy sources.
