Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe is aiming to seek Cabinet approval to publish an updated Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) for public consultation during an upcoming Cabinet meeting in September. Speaking on the sidelines of a critical minerals summit in Sandton, Mantashe indicated that he would be presenting the document, which he dubbed ‘IRP 2023’, at a Cabinet committee meeting during the first week of September with the aim of making a presentation to Cabinet itself at the subsequent meeting of the executive.

“[The IRP presentation] has deprived me from going to Australia, to Africa Down Under, because I thought it was a very important item [and] I must go myself to the Cabinet committee,” Mantashe told reporters. However, he was adamant that the update should be finalised this year, a timeline reinforced by his continual reference to the document as IRP 2023.
Given Mantashe’s vocal support for gas, nuclear and what he calls clean-coal technology there is an expectation that the three technologies could receive greater prominence in the draft update than was the case with the current IRP 2019, which was Gazetted in late 2019.
