It is therefore necessary to implement energy efficiency and demand side management measures to help the country cope with an imminent power crunch says a newly released ESMAP Briefing Note. The note further outlines support offered to South Africa by the World Bank and ESMAP to save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
