South Africa stopped investing in energy infrastructure. This is $500m investment. That is a substantial difference.

From the article:

> "The financing is intended to support research, including studies and analysis to deliver accurate data to partnering organizations and officials for better decision-making. It will also fund local policy and advocacy, along with litigation brought against power companies."

The $500M is NOT an investment, it is a media campaign.

At the scale needed to matter, $500m might as well be $0.

This money isn’t buying power stations, it’s funding efforts to influence policy.
