WEBINAR: South African Renewable Energy Grid Survey (SAREGS) 2024 Results Webinar SAWEA and the South African Photovoltaic Industry Association (SAPVIA) have partnered with Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd to conduct the South African Renewable Energy Grid Survey (SAREGS). This survey offers a valuable opportunity for the renewable energy industry to shape and influence grid expansion and planning. This webinar is the culmination of the process to present the results of the 2024 SAREGS to the industry and public. We have seen these results play a pivotal role for Eskom in their grid planning efforts though has also been used by both industry associations in their advocacy efforts. It has also been used by government departments such as the Ministry of Electricity in the Energy Action Plan and the DMRE in its planning for the latest IRP. Presenting the 2024 results is Ronald Marais, Strategic Grid Planning Manager at Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd NTCSA.

As we mark the Earth 🌍 Overshoot Day, let's reflect on the major factors pushing this date earlier each year: high CO2 emissions, deforestation, water overuse, overfishing, and waste production. It is not only the past that determines our future, but also our decisions in the here and now. Discover how simple changes like extending the life of clothes, reducing food waste and increasing renewable energy can make a significant difference. Every action counts. 💡 Each factor contributes to depleting Earth's natural resources faster than they can regenerate. What actions do you think could be most effective in pushing back the Earth Overshoot Day? 🌱 Let’s discuss and share ideas on how we can collectively reduce our ecological footprint. 👣 #EarthOvershootDay #Sustainability #ActNow #PNE #purenewenergy #energy #renewable

Namibia to conduct Namibia-South Africa green hydrogen pipeline feasibility study Namibia’s Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) has announced it will conduct a N$5 million (€250,000) study on the feasibility of a cross-border green hydrogen pipeline between Namibia and South Africa. The study will be undertaken by the Green Hydrogen Programme of Namibia and follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two countries in May 2024 at the World Hydrogen Summit. The envisioned pipeline would connect Lüderitz in Namibia to South Africa's Northern Cape, with the potential for future extensions. Minister of Mines and Energy, Tom Alweendo, stated that the study will assess the technical, commercial, environmental, and social feasibility of the project, with a focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) best practices. The study also aims to establish a sustainable and interconnected energy corridor in Southern Africa. https://lnkd.in/dth3cFmN #namibia #southafrica #greenhydrogen #pipeline #luderitz #feasibilitystudy Green Hydrogen Namibia African Hydrogen Partnership (AHP) Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board (NIPDB) Environmental Investment Fund of Namibia Climate Fund Managers (CFM) James Mnyupe, CA(SA)(Nam), CFA, CFP SASSCAL.org Jane Olwoch

I have always wanted to be a writer. How wonderful to have been given the opportunity to start becoming one in an industry that is made up of so many generous and creative people. 🌻 #Greenhydrogen isn't just for engineers or investors, it's for everyone. The lessons that are being learned about partnership, knowledge sharing, and collaboration can and should be applied to all industries, dare I say to all aspects of our lives. Thank goodness for Lindy Taylor, Priscilla GIBSON, and Courteney Webb, otherwise, you would all be trying and failing to read a 3000+ word, slightly convoluted article! Writing punchier, more meaningful content, with an attempt at clever wordage and references to my literary background has me excited for the things to come! 📖 #greenhydrogendebate #greenhydrogenpolicy #renewableenergy #renewableenergyinsight #energytopics
