  3. For the past few years, the global energy agenda has been dominated by: energy security, energy access, and the deployment of sustainable (renewable) energy. • The Department’s focus within this global energy agenda has continued to be on energy security through: • diversification of the energy mix – continued implementation of the IRP2010; • access to diversified energy markets; • deployment of sustainable energy – through the renewable energy program; and • engagements in local (continent) and international platforms – areas of capacity, skills development and funding. INTRODUCTION

  4.
