n a media release, it stressed the importance of managing the industrialisation of the renewables sector responsibly, by ensuring components were localised on the basis of their competitiveness and value-add.

SAWEA noted that predictable and continued procurement was needed to underpin any industrialisation policy, while incentives were needed to build more and better local capabilities, if the wind industry was to compete with international markets, while supporting local manufacturers.

“Transformation goes hand- in-hand with the industrialisation of the wind power sector. And market certainty is the most important aspect to building a local manufacturing industry
