Initial findings for South Africa
- South Africa has an acute undersupply of electricity and its national power utility faces financial crisis
- Growth in local renewable energy markets is crucial to achieving its Nationally Determined Constributions targets for 2030
- Municipal support for small scale embedded generation fosters commercial and industrial sectors (<1MW)
- Renewable energy financing is well-established for some market segments
We would like to invite you to join us for a webinar on Clean Captive Installations for Industrial Clients in Sub-Sahara Africa.
The United Nations Environment Programme, in partnership with its collaborating Centre at Frankfurt School of Finance and Management, is implementing the “Clean Captive Installations for Industrial Clients in Sub-Sahara Africa” Project in four countries: South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana. The project aims to demonstrate the economic and financial viability of clean captive energy installations for industries and enhance their adoption of a replicable model in the four partner countries and beyond to the entire continent. This project is part of the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of Germany. The Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety supports this initiative based on a decision adopted by the German Bundestag. As part of this project, solar commercial and industrial pilot projects will be supported in each of the countries.
For this live webinar, we will present a session on Call for Proposal for Pilot Projects and South Africa overview of the C&I solar market. A pre-recorded session is available on the project website with the different Tools developed for the solar in the C&I sector.
