Spain has pledged R42 billion to help fund renewable energy, battery storage, transmission, green hydrogen and electric vehicles in South Africa, as well as water and sanitation projects. | News24_Business

Spain plans to back South Africa's energy transition and water needs with R42 billion in funding.This funding is not part of the Just Energy Transition Partnership in which $8.5 billion was initially pledged.Spain is providing €2.1 billion to help fund South Africa's energy transition and water needs, even as some of the world's richest nations struggle to push forward on a ground-breaking climate-finance initiative with the country.

Spain, along with other developed countries that aren't part of the Group of Seven wealthy nations, weren't included in the JETP as it was an initiative of that bloc. JETPs are also being put in place in countries including Indonesia, Vietnam and Senegal. A pipeline of opportunities is now being developed and agribusiness opportunities may be included, he said.Spain isn't the only European country seeking to help with South Africa's transition from its reliance on coal, which accounts for more than 80% of the power the nation produces.

The country is also working with national power utility Eskom to repurpose land for labour-intensive agriculture at the site of the Grootvlei power plant, which is scheduled to be closed in coming years, they said.

_Business 🤣🤣 yeyi...When your mother sends you to the shops with money for groceries and you come back empty handed with stories meanwhile you chowed it. 🤣🤣🤣 We're turning into a bad primary school drama. PredictingTheFutureLikeASimpsonsEpisode

_Business I'm.sure that the corruption cultures cannot wait for these funds to hit our shores.

_Business Tell Spain we like their Soccer but they can keep their money . Let them Fk off with their money and energy hogwash

_Business Cadres are smiling

_Business So that's 20bn for renewables, and 22bn for the cadre buffet

_Business Russia must come in board with their oil and gas now 🤭🤭

_Business So that's 20m for renewables, and 22m for the cadre buffet

_Business Isn’t that country broke? Haibo guys.

_Business Why spain ? Make u check where the money goes

_Business Pledged a loan please stop acting like it's free money out of the goodness of their hearts

_Business Let us be clear, this will come a future cost to the next generation.

_Business So anc officials will be getting 42 billion richer.

_Business

_Business Someone in government is retiring early

_Business ANC will phalaphala that money

_Business Spain and any funder should bypass the govt and make it available to the private sector. CyrilRamaphosa's buddies are not interested and corrupt. SA will overcome loadshedding without the govt

_Business Spain R42 billion to South Africa South Africa R1 trillion to Spain

_Business Thank you Spain. However please ensure that it goes where intended as opposed to being spent on a Bentley, a private jet and a mansion in Dubai..

pmcafrica _Business Zuma & Putin were way ahead of us with Nuclear power...we could have procured nuclear energy power from our own pockets without loans/funding from colonizers.

_Business All that will be stolen once it arrives.... Dis is sad Afrika! The land of the criminals! Where a rich first world country is brought to it's knees begging and yet it's criminals just carry on!

_Business ANC:

_Business Can't these people leave us alone? We know how vile and imperialist Spain is. What do they want?

_Business Please may they pledge it to proven private enterprise companies and not to any government or cadre set ups

_Business But what happens to these funds

_Business Why?

_Business We don't want end products They must fund battery manufacturing companies, EV manufacture, lithium processing and purchasing, research and then buy from South Africa. Otherwise, that money is better spent helping Total close global operations and switching to renewable energy.

_Business Lol

_Business 42 Billion for ANC to loot

pmcafrica _Business MYANC cadres are rubbing their hands together for that loot

_Business Please guard the feeding trough with honest people - if you can find any

_Business 'while 30% must go to Spanish companies in the form of equity or procurement' he goes on to say 'Spanish participation is needed'. All these guys are looking for is tenders for their friends. They take out loans to fund poor countries and charge massive interest while benefiting.

_Business Fokof!!!

_Business Why are we forced to change to renewable energy

_Business Who asked for their help? I bet all the terms and conditions will be hidden from both Spanish and RSA citizens.

_Business Let the looting begin!

_Business Why don't they fund esskom to pick up. Ever wondered why?

_Business It's not like African countries don't have money to fund their own projects, they are just led by corrupt-unrepentant-liberation-party criminals.

_Business !

_Business aha. i knew it

_Business I'm really worried how special is SA to get money from Spain just like that?

_Business I mean I've seen pictures of Spain... R42b seems to be something they could use too

_Business Hope South Africa and it's citizens see it.🤦🤦🤦🤦🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

_Business It's surprising that everyone can see theres something wrong here except ANC 😅😅😅. Am just worried about the future of our kids.

_Business Why... What do they want in return

_Business Bill gates finger prints is all over

_Business Where will they get the money though 😏

_Business Most of that will be stolen...

_Business The ANC is going to steal it. SA will see fokkol of that money

_Business They did not pledge. Every European country owes every African country something. This is a payback

_Business Bye bye money

_Business I wonder how much of this money will find itself into ANC coffers.

_Business If we being realistic, South Africa has enough money to fund itself, is just we got crook leadership skeem, they need to loot the funding 😩😭😭

_Business Why? 😂

_Business Encima para Sur Africa… con el odio que nos tienen a los occidentales y encima dándoles dinero… si es que España es un chiste mal contado.

_Business Stupid Spain. WtF

_Business That money has only been pledge nit yet received and already its gone divided amongst the corrupt masses and then a media briefing will take place to say 'sorry we lost the money'

_Business We don't want electric vehicles

_Business At what cost?

_Business Fix ESKOM first!

_Business We don’t want it!

_Business News 24 peddling stories, or the Spanish spinning a yarn. Currently in Spain and they hardly have money to cover their infrastructure spend and are after handouts from Brussels. Don’t believe everything you read!!

_Business Clueless comments. Spanish Solar power already deployed and in operation in Western Cape - you are already benefiting! 😉

_Business 'Gone with the Wind' Apt

_Business This will definitely come at a cost

_Business Battery storage for cities is the worst idea ever.

_Business You mean Spain is about to donate R42m to Eskom_SA back pocket?

_Business Leave our coal alone!!!

_Business Only 7% will be used, the balance will be looted...

_Business Loans, Loans, Loans. Eish 'Spain will provide €15 million (R297 million) in grants for feasibility studies, while the rest of the money will come in the form of loans at about half the cost of commercial credit, risk insurance, and capital investments, Robredo said.'

_Business ANC already have personal plans with that money

_Business What's the catch 🤔..

_Business Le fa Ramaphosa tjhelete hape?!

_Business O jirr!

_Business These pledges are a problem and the reason we have loadshedding

_Business Dnt forget to tell spain nyaope boys are like rats,they eat batteries and cables

_Business Why?

_Business España está tiesa, os han mentido

_Business We don’t want it

_Business The key word here is 'pledged'. If this going to work, this needs to be managed in phases with funding only released as milestones are reached. Only way to prevent corruption.

_Business Kazi ibasebenzela njani i renewable bona🤔

_Business Load shedding is coming back now now.. As they increase coal Exports

_Business We don't need Spain we have BRICS.

_Business Why don't they pledge such the USA, UK, Germany, and others who are currently buying our coal

_Business If our government falls for this one, then we might as well throw in the towel. Why would Spain pledge so much to another country to fund something that’s bankrupted thousands of families in their own country? These green deals aren’t working, at all.

_Business Lol SA that's why Lesotho and Botswana claiming SA's land! Weak leaders! We don't even know why now? Someone in SA is behind this🤞🏼🤦🏽‍♂️bribe 🤑! Destroyers!! 😯🤷🏽‍♂️

_Business Hope we see that money

_Business someone tell Spain we don't that money 😬❤️

_Business It does not work green energy is a scam

_Business South Africa is for sale, and the world wants a piece of it. We know he will take every cent available on off and it will end up in his sofas..

_Business 'Pledge' Not good enough.

_Business Do Spain know the anc is just gone walk away with ther money

_Business I did ask at some point Why us now Trevor Noar , Zakes , Black Coffee, there is lot heppening we jst dnt see....everthing is fo some in return...🤗

_Business No amount of money can buy our coal.. its worth way more than that

_Business No conocéis a nuestro Presidente. No dice ni una verdad.

_Business Give that money to Mnangagwa since he is hungry for money. Spain just buy the whole of Zimbabwe with that money.

_Business In exchange for what?

_Business The craving for our coal is too much

_Business No such thing as a free lunch.

_Business We don't want it

_Business Traduzco la noticia después de leerla, España se gasta 15 millones de euros en 'estudios' ... luego líneas de crédito y bla bla bla, vamos, 15 millones que se llevarán amiguetes de la Begoño...

_Business Spain? Really? What do they want to steal from us. Cause that's the only reason they'd be putting money here. Is it coal?

_Business Leave Our Coal.

_Business How much did they pledge for their own renewable energy, battery storage, transmission, green hydrogen

_Business Oh goodie for the politicos.

_Business Is Spain prepared to take back their trains? (you know, the ones ordered by the S.A Government, subsequently delivered, and then found to NOT fit our rail gauge/be too tall - THOSE trains). Start here :

_Business People who are still highly reliant on coal are telling you to transition to green and are even to finance that transition while taking your coal to keep their light on. Make it make sense

_Business Electric vehicles 😂😂😂😂 I think someone in Spain is screwing with us

_Business Why What’s the catch nothing happens for free

_Business Con la deuda actual y con lo que ha crecido desde que están el progreso es una opción genial para seguir despilfarrando. ¿Cómo no se les había ocurrido antes?

_Business Estoy flipando….

_Business What's in it for them?

_Business Oh crap money about to be looted.

_Business Let's hope and pray that the money reaches the rightful entities.

_Business What's the catch?

pmcafrica _Business We don’t need that money

_Business And I thought we were grey listed

_Business Comrades, you can eat again!

_Business Comrades have already shared it amongst themselves before the pledge is even redeemed.

_Business Coal s our strength and we have that in abundance. It has carried us for decades and still going to last us for centuries even. We rather have 2x more Power Stations than this renewable nton nton

_Business Such a poor small country with no gold trying to capture the biggest gold supplier in the world with loan traps and aid- aid after aid will not develop Africa

TomiRikhotso _Business Why 🤔

pmcafrica _Business Mmmm Spain is then broke...baffles me all the time..

_Business What are they going to gain for this pledge?

_Business Spain no tiene ese dinero.

_Business Siba kolota Malini?

_Business Jajajaja...no veréis ni un duro .

_Business More money for the ANC to steal. They need to invest in private companies or the Western Cape where the ANC can’t steal!

_Business Oh crp here comes another looting spree. Clearly Spain doesnt know how corrupt SA govt is.

_Business 😂😂😂we a dumping site mxm. Africans prayer wont solve these

_Business In return of what?

_Business In exchange for coal

_Business The ANC comrades are drooling at those numbers 🤣🤣🤣

_Business Small monies

_Business Stage 10 loadshedding is certainly coming.

_Business Where’s Julius to reject this project because it’s from the western supremacists. Russia will pledge the same amount? I suspect he will try get some of it in his pockets

_Business Why do we need foreign funding that comes a ball, chain and noose. Surely there's expertise & money in the SA to fund, build and provide all our energy and water needs. However, a key element in 'green' energy - lithium - is mined with slave labour in many African countries.

_Business The ANC led government with its Communist allies have to shamefully rely on handouts from other countries to fix up their big mess. They have looted state coffers using SARS to fleece money from hard working citizens on the pretense of helping the poor and redistributing wealth.

_Business Cool. What do we give in return?

_Business Please telll them to buy the equipment and build the infrastructure themselves. They must not let a cent go unaccounted for!

_Business Good news 👏

_Business Yhooo azodla ama comrade

_Business That’s about 6 pairs of work boots, a spanner and some insulation tape on tender.

_Business Thank you Spain.

Thomas_Somo _Business Why is Spain not using that money to build their own renewable energy and leave us with our coal fired power stations, because we have enough coal to last us until Jesus Christ come back?

_Business Terrible. We have all the means to produce energy without this bullcrap. What does pledge mean in this case. Lend? Give? This will be blown on frivolity and hard working South Africans will have to pay the debt.

_Business Not a single cent of this will actually go to helping average South Africans, ANC cadres will pocket it all.

_Business 1M to project, the rest to bonuses for the failed project.

_Business They don't have a single solar power station

_Business nothing for mahala

_Business In return for? Nothing is for free.

_Business 'Spain has pledged R42 billion to help fund ANC mafias,they're families,friends and they're Slay queens in South Africa, as well as Tenderpreneurs.' This how it should've been put.

_Business Money is already gone straight to ANC cadres lol

_Business We don't want it, let's stick to our coal plants

_Business You can tell by the amount of money all these countries pour into SA to resolve energy crisis that they want us to move away from Coal so bad that they are digging deep iside they're pockets so that they can have all the coal for themselves

_Business Why? Nothing for mahala

pmcafrica _Business For free or is it a high interest loan?

_Business With respect, this is unlikely to materialize.

_Business Oh dear! So who gets the tenders?

_Business In exchange of what? Our coal

_Business 🤣🤣🤣🤣 just nje ?

_Business They really want us to forget about our coal so that they continue using it as the backbone of their energy matrix. Who makes the decision to accept or decline it here in SA and how can we stop him?

_Business What are they getting in return?

_Business Spain is about to find out how quickly R 42billion can get stolen.

_Business 🤦🏾‍♂️

_Business The loan is dodgy and the beneficiaries are dodgy. Something else is going on here.

_Business No electricity in winter type of electricity

_Business These ANC people are very lucky, can you imagine being given a 42billion to share with group of friends

_Business Spain has to apply due-diligence very carefully. The anc government, comrades, cadres and cronies are standing in line at the feeding throughs to devour this graceful source of funding!

_Business Good god who will oversee the accountability? Who will be the guardian

_Business Thatll be stolen before it even gets here. ANC cadres planning their next holidays already

_Business ...we have plenty of coal, no thanks!!!

_Business Thy must go to Hell...

_Business This is worrying. We are f***d

_Business Please let there be monitoring of those funds to ensure that it is used for what it is meant. Otherwise those fund will vanish in thin air or into ANC coffers

_Business Why South Africa 🇿🇦🌍?

_Business We don't want their filthy money

_Business Ramaphosa and his cabinet are going to chow those billions without any remorse....

_Business Electric vehicles when we don't have electricity? We need loadshedding to be put to an end. No fancy names to things and stuff....

_Business Abazuyibhubhudla marn 🙆

_Business TshepoTsoane

_Business It looks like this country is for sale and everyone around the world is getting a piece except South Africans.

_Business Gracias jennyya_r

_Business Asiyfuni tsek

_Business Now loans are coming in the name of 'investment '....yeah neh ke South Africa (ANC) Bafhwethu!!

_Business South Africa has its own R3 trillion they can do that themselves,They don't need NATO country

_Business No such thing as free lunch. What do they want in return?

_Business In return for what?

_Business Wonder how much money f that 42mil will make it past the trough…..

Dlula_B _Business We don't want it

_Business Oof

_Business South Africa must increase the price of coal as it is in the high demand at overseas this thing of loaning is not helping because we don't even see that money

_Business All these pledges are motivated about getting in early in the renewable energy industry and capturing the market, while countries such as SA are still developing the technologies. We have the coal resources, lest stick to them for the next 20-30 years😁

_Business So 4.2 million will be used and more than 41 billion will be looted right!

_Business Tsek!

_Business I've been to Spain. They definitely do not have 42 billion lying around so what's this money REALLY for?

_Business What do they stand to benefit?

_Business These nations are desperate for our coal reserves hey.

_Business I wonder where China, Russia and Iran are with their funding?

_Business Shame Spain, they are wasting their money someone tell them

_Business The whole of Europe is reverting back to coal n poor lowly Spain wants to help naive SataFrika to clean energy. Ke masep'a eng a🤷🏾‍♂️ Fcuk just-energy-transition nonsense💩🚮

_Business We have coal to power ourselves. Let Spain keep its money let's keep our coal

_Business Spain? The black nation of Spain?

_Business Is South Africans actually gonna see anything/No Loadshedding or is it gonna be like in the past, countries give huge funding & we still stuck with Loadshedding....

_Business What the FUCK?!

_Business Suckers.

_Business Sifile yizilweletu asisakwazi kukhona. Uma kuwumnikelo siyabonga 🙌

_Business Hope they're asking for detailed invoices as to where it is being spent!

_Business Hahahaha madness! R42B will end up same place that covid money went... Down a neverending hole! Lol

_Business They must shove it were the sun don't shine

_Business What do they want in return ?

_Business It's much deeper than folk thinking that the ANC will steal... Think WEF and JP Morgan. Sinister.

_Business With all our resources we should not be taking handouts from anyone.

_Business Yeah! In return they get what?

_Business Why?

_Business So R1 Billion will actually be spent on renewable energy, battery storage, transmission, green hydrogen and electric vehicles. R41 Billion is for 'eating'.

_Business Ramaphosa ke marete I'm telling u.

_Business At what cost cause we all know there is a ulterior motive to all this .

_Business A pledge means nothing Amber .. 🥶

_Business Here I fixed your headline for you...' Spain has bribed the corrupt insect ANC government with R42bn in order to take our coal from us and leave us with nothing...'

_Business Yoh

_Business The ANC will steal all the money before anything happens

_Business That money will land on the politicians hands and disappear forever 🤞

_Business Shouldn't you be asking WHY?

_Business 42 billion given for everything you said we needed. 42 billion spent on Jacob and he's cousins new house cars 5th wives new teeth gold toilets and much more much needed fine living in the ANCs so caled necessities.

_Business Money will disappear, No Accounting 😂🫢

_Business This investment will create jobs ,grow the economy and industrialize South Africa further , not Russia busy supplying poor African countries with weapons

_Business SA will maintain coal as baseline no matter what the US and the West does. If Cyril takes all these monies, he will account for it eventually.

_Business Nice

_Business What are they getting in return?

_Business Because SA is a child

_Business There’s probably 2 billion left for renewable energy and 40 billion is shared amongst crooks

_Business Ramaphosa is not to be trusted

_Business Why are we ditching coal, I see an increase in coal smuggling.

_Business Here in black and white, daylight Re-colonization. Rich European countries want to WEAN off South Africa from coal, a cheap energy source crucial for powering up SA's industrialization agenda. These countries are rich because of cheap energy but don't want SA to do the same.

_Business Pls pls pls can we have honest politicians and ministers manage this funding 🙏🏽

_Business 👀

_Business Bazoyidla

_Business Europe ceeating nore jobs in RSA than the ANC. Given the current Eskom situation we should welcome this.

_Business Better keep an eye on that money. Greedy hands are being rubbed together in anticipation to eat that money.

_Business And that time Spain is running on renewable energy right? They have decommissioned all their coal power stations right?

_Business R42 billion to be looted soon.

_Business 40 Bill 💵 is for the cadre...

_Business And they getting what in return...coal welcome to the fools world!

_Business Every reasonable person who follows European politics would know that Spain is virtually bankrupt

_Business CyrilRamaphosa's corrupt thieving spineless useless MYANC cadres are licking their lips for that money... thanks Spain well done✊

_Business Because they want Our coalcoala

_Business Sick and tired of this... electricity is unaffordable in the meantime out there.. Let them keep those solar farms and wind farms.. they bring poverty and shortages... Oh and this, we are WARNED.

_Business Why they don't use it that money in Spain ? They should make Spain green enough then see how it works and export same , if workable. I doubt is ' help ' . It is loan and what works for them might not work for others. They will never learn that basic principle

_Business Why....does Spain have enough

_Business Those asking in exchange of what? What exactly do we have to offer truly? The ANC has turned this country into a banana republic the least we can do is ensure we vote them out in 2024 so these billions can be used for their intended purposes

_Business Just keep those funds far away from the corrupt MYANC please. VoetsekANC ANCisCORRUPT

_Business Nonsense

_Business Don't let Mantashe know about it...

_Business This is pie-in-the-Sky stuff. What works here in Europe isn’t going to fly in RSA and that money will disappear!

_Business Does Spain know that SARS apparently collected 2 trillion? Where will that money go again?

_Business What's in it for them, there is nothing for mahala

_Business spanishembassy . Please, please, please do NOT give any money to the ANC thieves. They will just steal it, like they aways do.

_Business While they took our coal to their lights on as results of power in our country ramaposa

_Business Why would they do that? They must do it in their own country

_Business Fokof

_Business Spain must leave us alone.

_Business We must be very cautious dealing with these nato guys. .

_Business They should fund that renewable nonsense in Spain. South Africa has to completely reject this nonsense

_Business Haibo, I'm sure South Africa will never see this investment- anc all planning the heist🤐🤐

_Business Comrades here comes money to campaign for next year's election. ANC_Mafia covered

_Business What's the meaning of 'Pledged'

_Business Do they not know about the corruption here or is it for other purposes

_Business So 15 billion will end up actually being used for the ' energy ' and the rest of it we all know what's going to happen there

_Business It’s a loan, not a donation!

_Business That’s money for 2024 elections campaign by…you know who

_Business Please allocate the money to the DA. At least they won’t steal it

_Business More investments yield more job creation

_Business Hooe that money will not get deposited in any government account. We know how quickly that will find wings!!!

_Business Everybody wants to buy this country! Bid after bid!

_Business Government licking there lips , more corruption

_Business Damn Europeans giving us money.

_Business Billion after billion kanti bafunani laba?..

_Business “ Why” We hate the west don’t they understand. This must be rejected as we only do business with our friends in Russia, China and Cuba. YES.

_Business What do they have to gain in all this? Tell us, don’t be shy.

_Business At what costs?

_Business Let’s take it only from BRICS

_Business Debt debt debt and more debt… why do we sign up for this stuff… we need power , Nuclear is the cheapest form! Sign up for that please

_Business It seems like money is being thrown at South Africa eversince the growth of BRICS, not sure what they want in return

_Business They are fools. Why they do that? R40 mil will be stolen by the corrupt ANC government. Guaranteed

_Business Another Looting 😭😭😭

_Business We don't want their dirty money We will use our own coal

_Business They gave that money to anc not SA...

_Business Spanish government should keep their money no need to waste it on the useless ANC government

_Business Give and take...

_Business SA is a playground clearly 😂

_Business Mxm

_Business In exchange for what?

_Business I guess I will be renewing my ANC membership, 💰 🤑 💸 💲 🪙 💶

_Business And what's the catch? what will they be benefiting

_Business Since the brics country plan to use their own currency Europe they act like they want to invest in SA why🤔🤔🤔

_Business Don't give it to the government, please! Rather, come do the work yourself. Thanking you in advance

_Business Awu Spain sizopha I ANC imali nje what🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

_Business It's a problem in South Africa... So South Africa owns a lot of country out there nd this again, we a been sold to another country soon..... South Africa said it had agreed to a $4.3bn loan from the IMF. R700 Millions now Spain again
