PARI is launching a new report on the role of the DMRE in South Africa's just energy transition. The energy transition is an ongoing but contested process. DMRE is an integral part of this process, given its role as policymaker and regulator of the mineral resources and energy sectors. Following the formation of the Government of National Unity in June 2024, the department has been split into the Mineral Resources and Petroleum, and Electricity and Energy Departments respectively. Based on our research into the former DMRE, PARI will present findings that are relevant for government departments; stakeholders in the mining, energy and electricity sectors; sector experts and civil society organisations.
At this launch, PARI wishes to engage in wider conversation:
- How can we build consensus for a just energy transition?
- How can various institutions participate towards realising it?
