Countries are encouraged to invest in sustainable development initiatives to realise a lowcarbon economy by 2050 and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 2030. South Africa is experiencing an energy crisis due to the demand for electricity exceeding the capacity supplied by Eskom coal-fired power plants. In South Africa, over 85% of electricity is generated from coal, which negatively impacts the environment due to carbon emissions during the electricity generation process. As a result, South Africa is undergoing a transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. This study aims to explore the impact of renewable energy on the strategies of coal mines in South Africa. Exploring the impact on the strategy of coal mines will provide managers of coal mining organisations with more profound insights that they can utilise to lead effectively during and beyond the transition process. Qualitative, exploratory research methods were identified as appropriate to acquire new insights into the impact of renewable energy on the strategies of coal mines in South Africa. Eleven semi-structured interviews with individuals representing administrative and executive management categories were conducted. Each interview was analysed using Atlas.ti software to get the primary themes and key insights. This study contributes to the literature by providing practical ways for managers to conceptually interpret the strategies and alignment of their coal mining organisations to remain competitively sustainable. pt23 Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) MBA Unrestricted 2023-05-28T16:59:39Z 2023-05-28T16:59:39Z 19-04-2023 2022 Mini Dissertation * A2023 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/90837 en © 2023 University of Pretoria.
