Welcome to our webinar on renewable energy and the upcoming launch of the South African Wholesale Electricity Market (SAWEM).

South Africa’s electricity sector is entering an important new phase, with the move towards a more competitive wholesale electricity market potentially reshaping how power is generated, traded and supplied.

Our expert speakers explore what SAWEM could mean for renewable energy, including the role of traders, the unbundling of the Transmission System Operator, and the urgent need for expanded grid capacity.

Brian Day, a renewables consultant at 2Day Innovation, facilitates the discussion with Andrew Etzinger, GM for Energy Market Services and the International Trader at the National Transmission Company of South Africa; Dr Rethabile Melamu, CEO of The South African Photovoltaic Industry Association; Cornel Claassen, Manager for Project Delivery at the Energy Council of South Africa; Robyn Reinhardt, Senior Legal Advisor at NOA; and Alastair Muller, Principal Director for South Africa at Partners in Performance, part of Accenture.

Thanks to our sponsors NOA, Accenture and Aberdare Cables for making this webinar possible
