Vision for Wind power in South Africa: 

I see all renewables (including wind_ as a key pillar of South Africa’s energy mix, delivering reliable, least-cost electricity at scale. With the right policy certainty and investment, wind can move from being part of the solution to being the backbone of a secure, competitive energy future.

What makes SAWEA relevant? 

SAWEA is the voice of the wind industry in South Africa. It brings together developers, investors, OEMs, service providers, financiers and policymakers to provide inputs into policy and regulation, share knowledge and collectively remove barriers to growth.

Why would you encourage someone to become a member? 

Because no single company builds an industry alone. SAWEA gives members influence, insight and access — from policy engagement and market intelligence to collaboration and problem-solving with peers. If you want to help shape the direction of wind energy in South Africa rather than simply react to it, this is where you do it.
