South Africa to host global renewable-energy conference in October
South Africa is set to play host to Africa’s first international renewable-energy conference, in Cape Town, from October 4 to 7 providing a platform to showcase the continent’s numerous renewable-energy projects to high-level international delegates.
The South African International Renewable Energy Conference (Sairec), under the theme ‘Re-energising Africa’, was expected to attract over 1 200 delegates from more than 35 countries to address renewable-energy security and access.
The conference, which was the sixth in a series of events previously held in Germany, China, the US, India and the United Arab Emirates, would be hosted by the Department of Energy (DoE), the South African National Energy Development Institute, the Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century and Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbiet.
Sairec 2015 would provide Africa with an opportunity to showcase its promising renewable- energy industry and demonstrate why it should become the business destination for the renewable-energy sector, while gaining experience and knowledge from the best practices from countries at the forefront of renewable-energy deployment, explained Energy Minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson at a recent media briefing.
“The conference will demonstrate why Africa is the business destination for the renewable-energy sector, given its current growth trajectory and need for investment in clean energy to underpin sustainable economic growth,” she said.
South Africa planned to showcase 16 of its own renewable-energy projects, including solar and biomass, along with the related socioeconomic projects, training facilities and the business opportunities created.
