BLSA's CEO emphasises the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy's need to value businesses' input, given the significance of the Gas Master Plan and IRP for the economy.

I have written before about how we face a “gas cliff” when the supply of gas to industrial users ceases in 2026. This is a crisis for businesses that collectively employ 70 000 people and generate R500 billion a year for the economy. It is a crisis that can only be avoided with a coordinated and rapid plan between business and government.

A vision for gas supply and development for the country needs to start with the most urgent needs, and then plan out how the system should evolve from there. Of course, it should not be entirely short-term in focus – it must set out a comprehensive vision. In some respects, the plan’s long-term vision is solid, but on the most urgent priorities, it simply sidesteps them.
