South Africa’s national development plan has outlined aspirations to achieve a sustainable environment. However, the country remains bound for an unsustainable trajectory. Despite this ecological issue, no studies have probed how biomass and coal energy impact quality. In light of gap, study inspects environmental effect political risk, energy, in Africa. Also, integrates economic growth natural resources into its framework. This uses load capacity factor (LC), which is more aggregate proxy quality due accounting demand supply aspect dynamic autoregressive distributive lag estimator (ARDL), capable not only providing details influence each determinant on LC long short term but also capturing counterfactual shock positive or negative exogenous variables LC. The kernel regularized least squares (KRLS) method used robustness analysis ARDL approach. Furthermore, findings simulation disclose LC, thereby contributing deterioration by 0.552%. Natural adverse indicating reduction sustainability 0.037% 0.290%, respectively. Meanwhile, contributes promoting 0.421%. Political risk research provides pertinent policy considerations policymakers governments Africa, suggesting that government Africa should invest extraction procedures since vital role increasing
