It has been just over two weeks since the deadline for comments on the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy's draft 2023 Integrated Resource Plan . T he Southern African Faith Communities Environment Institute assessment is that the draft IRP does not provide a realistic assessment of the costs of nuclear power .
SAFCEI's Executive Director Francesca de Gasparis says,"By relying on unrealistic costing for nuclear power, the IRP2023 seems to be an attempt to push South Africa into purchasing up to 14,500 MW of new nuclear reactors. Others have raised concerns about the IRP. The cost of nuclear underscores our reasons for joining the call for the IRP2023 to be redone.
Supply-Side Cost and Performance Data for Eskom Integrated Resource Planning by Electric Power Research Institute The multi-faith environmental justice organization questions how the DMRE's costs in the IRP2023 are between 54.7% and 66.9% lower than its own commissioned expert study, adding that this appears to be a blatant attempt to rig the IRP, in order to make nuclear energy fit. According to the IRP, the optimum new build for South Africa is a combination of nuclear power and renewables. But when compared to the known costs of these two reactor types, the study itself is flawed.
