The advancement of South Africa’s power sector is a critical national priority. In particular, the rapid ramp up of renewable energy is paramount for energy security, economic competitiveness and achieving the country’s climate goals.
The South African Policy Recommendations for Renewable Electricity (SAPRs), developed in collaboration with business and with inputs from cities, provinces, industry bodies and policymakers, aims to align energy policy with climate ambition, ensure electricity security and enable cost-effective procurement and generation of renewable electricity.
This work forms part of the expanded Renewable Ambition in South African Electricity (RAiSE) project, and is focused on developing localised policy recommendations to fast-track the deployment of renewable electricity in South Africa.
Join us as we discuss how to unlock enhanced investment and access to renewable electricity in South Africa and explore how business can play a leading role in our renewable energy future.
Event Highlights:
Opening Address – South Africa’s electricity landscape and opportunities for public private collaboration
Official Launch of the SAPRs – A presentation on how the key barriers to renewable electricity procurement and generation can be overcome in South Africa
Panel Discussion – Insights from financiers, cities and leading businesses on advancing renewable electricity implementation and collaboration
Policy Engagement Plan – An outline of the next steps for engaging decision-makers to support an enabling environment for business-led clean energy investment
Networking Lunch – An opportunity to continue discussions and foster strategic partnerships
A detailed agenda will be shared in the coming weeks. We look forward to your participation in this important conversation in advancing South Africa’s power sector.
