JOHANNESBURG, July 16 (Reuters) - South African state-owned power utility Eskom aims to shift to mainly clean energy sources by 2040 from its current predominantly coal-based generation fleet, it said on Wednesday as it laid out its latest plans for the change.
Eskom aims to have 32 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity by 2040, compared to less than 1 GW now, while it wants its coal capacity to shrink from 39 GW to 18 GW over that time, a company presentation on its energy sources to lawmakers showed.
