Integrating spatial analytics in power system planning techniques for the green energy transition
Abstract. Fossil fuel energy generation contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions globally. Energy transition towards sustainable, low-carbon energy needs to occur. South Africa has pledged to achieve a net-zero carbon economy by 2050 and in-line with this energy transition. The country has implemented the Renewable Energy Independent Power
