Renewable Energy Markets in South Africa: Exploring the Policy and Legal Landscape for Embedded Generation - Seminar 1 Household Sector

The Claude Leon Chair in Earth Justice and Stewardship, Professor Tracy-Lynn Field, invites you to an online seminar series exploring the varying policy and legal landscapes for promoting embedded renewable energy generation in the residential, community, education, municipal, and commercial and industrial markets.

While much attention has been focused on South Africa’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers Procurement Programme, the embedded generation market has boomed as South Africans search for more reliable, cleaner solutions for energy security.

The first seminar in the series explored trends in the household renewable energy market, including current and projected demand, financing models, regulatory constraints and opportunities, and tax implications.
