Overview

The South African energy supply is dominated by coal.

•Coal supplies 65.7% of the primary energy*

•Followed by crude oil with 21.6%

•Renewable and wastes with 7.6 %

•Gas with 2.8%

•Nuclear 0.4%

•Hydro 0.1%

*Primary Energy: an energy form found in nature that has not been subjected to any conversion or transformation process to become electrical energy, refined fuels, or synthetic fuels such as hydrogen fuel
