As the representative voices of the solar PV and Wind industries, SAPVIA and SAWEA are constantly working towards collaborating with stakeholders across the renewable energy sector to share knowledge and drive effective change.
They will present a six-part “Developing the local RE value chain” webinar, to expose the public to business opportunities that exist within the renewable value chain. The renewable energy industry takes particular interest in developing local businesses which could supply products and services to accelerate the localisation potential of this industry. Your organization is invited to support the vision to develop South Africa’s local businesses in order maximise its localisation impact while building local competence of global standard.
Developing developers webinar series 2 – May to October 2021
Creating a platform which enables effective knowledge-sharing between the industry and the rest of the country ensures that local businesses could access the knowledge and expertise needed to develop world-leading local renewable energy industry.

Agenda
20 May: Understanding the local content requirements in the REIPPPP
Localisation is one of the key imperatives of the REIPPPP programme. The local content requirements are intended to achieve reindustrialisation and support the development of the local value chain. In this session we will unpack the local content requirements and unpack how this is practically impacting the local industry development.
10 June: Opportunities in project development phase
Renewable energy development provided opportunities for local businesses: consulting services in resource assessment; land acquisition; environmental impact assessments; specialist studies; site selection; project feasibility studies; financing and legal services. This session will expose participants to business opportunities in the development phase of renewable energy projects.
15 July: Localisation opportunities in manufacturing value chain
The REIPPP programme local content requirements provide opportunities for local manufactures to produce solar PV and wind power components locally. This session will break down the manufacturing value chain and identify opportunities for local manufacturing.
19 August: Opportunities in transportation and logistics
As renewable energy market grows in South Africa, it will increase business prospects for transportation and logistics companies in South Africa’s renewable energy cargo can be bulky and in the majority of cases requires door-to-door transportation of a large number of containers from one continent to another or urgent air freight delivery. This requires efficient handling at all stages of the project: collection; warehousing; delivery to site etc, meaning that most cases require specialist project cargo handling.
16 September: Localisation opportunities in the construction phase
The construction phase of renewable energy projects provides opportunities in the engineering and construction sectors. This session will focus on breaking down these opportunities and helping local businesses to position themselves as the sector is starting to grow again.
21 October: Localisation opportunities in the operation and maintenance phase
The session will focus on opportunities in the operation and maintenance phase of renewable energy projects.
Participation: Free for SAPVIA/SAWEA and partner members
