CEO VOICE – APRIL 2023
Dear Members,
I am happy to report that we had a meaningful and robust engagement with the Ministry of Electricity on Tuesday, 24 April 2023 at the Union Buildings. SAWEA was represented by some members of the board, as well as the Executive Management. We have successfully positioned ourselves as an association that is able to contribute to the Ministry’s renewable energy plans, particularly with regards to the wind sector. The purpose of the meeting was essentially to understand the Ministry’s outlook on the future energy mix, and the mechanisms that will be employed to implement the energy action plan with reference to the acceleration of new generation capacity through renewable energy. In our engagement, we had the opportunity to raise concerns / challenges that the wind industry is currently facing, as well as provide solutions to some of the regulatory constraints to enable fair representation of wind across the energy mix.READ MORE
