Manufacturing value chain provides greatest job creation potential in wind industry. Will we be a producer, assembler or component supplier? Tapping likes of automotive industry and leveraging Atlantis SEZ as manufacturing location is among low-hanging fruit @saretec #Windaba2018
Janek Winand of SiemensGamesa - we need government to communicate new localisation requirements, so industry can plan ahead. SA has to take a lead and spread wind industry into the region. Overall, positive outlook as the draft IRP is predominantly renewables. #Windaba2018
Dr Grove Steyn , Director, Meridian Economics up to argue on wind energy profitability in South Africa. #Windaba2018 @WINDABA_ZA @_sawea
Naim Rassol - skills required to operate the wind turbines are highly specialised. SARETEC with support of various partners has set up a training centre to train wind turbine technicians. #Windaba2018
Kadri Nassiep - Cape Town city has a strong motivation to procure renewable energy and is currently challenging the Minister of Energy in court to be able to procure directly from IPPs. #Windaba2018 @WINDABA_ZA @_sawea @CityofCT
Allan Palmer of Enercon recognises that there is a need for supply chains to be localised and brought closer to the market. Industry needs volumes that are more certain and predictable to achieve localisation. #Windaba2018
Kadri Nassiep, Executive Director, City of Cape Town speaks of Cape Town's lower carbon journey since 2001 to 2050 - the city has put together a plan to achieve a target of 20% renewable energy by 2020. #Windaba2018 @WINDABA_ZA @_sawea @CityofCT
