South Africa risks losing billions pledged for climate finance
Published: 25 Jun 24
South Africa is risking a $9.3-billion climate finance pact by delaying the closing of a number of coal-fired power plants, a panel appointed by the country’s environment minister said. In an agreement known as the Just Energy Transition Partnership, South Africa won the bulk of the pledges from some of the world’s richest nations in loans, grants and guarantees in 2021. They offered to help the country reduce its dependence on coal for power generation on condition it phased out a number of its older plants using the dirtiest fuel. The worst power cuts on record last year prompted Eskom, the State power utility, to delay shutting down the facilities. Eskom has said it has decided to postpone the decommissioning of three power plants — Grootvlei, Hendrina and Camden — until 2030. A unit in the South African presidency earlier this month made a presentation about the nation’s new plans to the World Bank-linked Climate Investment Funds, which is considering allocating $500-million to South Africa. Financing from the fund could trigger a further $2-billion in investment from other partners. The content and outcome of those discussions haven’t been disclosed.

Hedge fund making 20% a year for last decade targets uranium M&A
Published: 25 Jun 24
A top performing hedge fund is betting the pullback in uranium producer NexGen Energy will be short lived, as the industry’s growing appeal leaves the startup well placed for a potential takeover.
Melbourne-based L1 Capital’s flagship Long Short Fund is up 20% per annum since inception, the best performing Australia-based strategy for that 10-year period, according to data compiled by Zenith Investment Partners, a research firm. While NexGen’s stock struggled this year after a 53% surge in 2023, L1’s head of research Amar Naik says he isn’t tempted to trim the position.
