Description
Description | South Africa plans to revise import tariffs, tax benefits, and procurement rules to boost local manufacturing of renewable energy components and strengthen the domestic supply chain. Key proposals include raising import duties on lithium-ion batteries to 15% and revising the staged consignment policy to encourage sourcing from local manufacturers for components like solar panels, inverters, trackers, and steel tower sections. The government also plans a gradual approach for solar panels with temporary rebates until domestic assembly meets 50% of demand, and the Public Procurement Act of 2024 will enforce local content requirements in public projects. |
