Latest KfW News
Sep 15, 2021
Context News South African state power utility Eskom is talking to development institutions like the World Bank and Germany’s KfW in the run-up November’s COP26 climate meeting in Glasgow, according to a July 30 company presentation. It wants to raise $10 billion to help it shut down its fleet of coal-fired plants by 2050 and switch to renewable energy, Reuters reported on June 30. Eskom generates 90% of South Africa’s electricity, almost exclusively from coal, making it Africa’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases. Its initial proposal is to secure concessional debt finance to build 8 gigawatts of non-coal-fired power. Half that is to come from natural gas. Wind and solar make up the majority of the rest.
