South Africa Gas Supply Security Strategy

planned

The South African government is implementing a two-pronged strategy involving immediate imports and accelerated domestic development, including fracking for shale gas, to improve gas supply security and prevent an energy crisis. The strategy includes offshore exploration, development of gas fields such as the Orange Basin, Outeniqua Basin, and onshore projects like the Virginia Gas Project, Thungela Resources Lephalale coalbed methane project, and Kinetiko’s gas project. Legislative reforms and regulatory framework stabilization are also part of the plan.
