The first day of the 8th Southern African Energy Efficiency Convention (SAEEC) has been a stellar success with delegates and visitors raving about the event
This home brewed convention showcased the latest products, projects and services while addressing policies through a series of plenary sessions, workshops and an inter-active exhibition area.
28 speakers, 35 exhibitors, 350 delegates awaited for a day of synergy and sharing of best practice in the South Africa energy industry urging one another towards the development of sustainable solutions for the nation and in addressing its challenges.
Opening up the SAEEC was Member of Parliament SJ Njikelana, the Chairperson for the portfolio committee on Energy addressing on governments priorities going forward as a nation, before Eskom s senior general manager Andrew Etzinger gave an update on the electricity system and the role of energy efficiency in ensuring adequate supply in South Africa
Dr Stephen Roosa, account executive from Energy Systems Group in the USA looked at the linkages between sustainability policies and renewables. Renewable energy applications are changing global markets as wind power currently now cheaper than dirt in the USA!
The afternoon sessions were broken up into four tracks addressing financing and tax, energy management, energy efficiency in buildings and energy saving case studies.
