Last month at COP26, stakeholders from across the renewable energy value chain came together to discuss how to drive South Africa’s energy transition by unlocking corporate procurement of renewable power. Companies in South Africa are the largest consumers of electricity and therefore play a critical role in unlocking the widespread systemic change needed to achieve a carbon-neutral future. More than 50 companies with operations in South Africa have already committed to procure 100% renewable power by 2050 or sooner through the RE100 initiative, ahead of plans to decarbonize the national grid. RAiSE (Renewables Ambition in South African Electricity) is a hub launched by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), National Business Initiative (NBI) and RE100 (led by the Climate Group in collaboration with CDP) in March this year, brings together many of these companies with stakeholders from across the renewable energy value chain to help unlock corporate procurement of renewable power. Last month RAiSE stakeholders came together to hold a hybrid event at COP26, with speakers from founders NBI, RE100 and WBCSD, as well as the US Department of State, Amazon, 3M and C40 Cities. The event highlighted the key opportunity areas to act on now to drive the growth of renewables in South Africa, the role that companies and cities want to play in this transition and explored ideas for how cities, business and utilities can work together to meet emissions reduction targets and achieve electricity security through renewable electricity generation. The event followed hot on the heels of the announcement of a new partnership between the governments of South Africa, France, Germany, the UK, the EU and the US, which will mobilize USD $8.5bn in funding for South Africa to implement a just transition away from coal and towards renewables. Key takeaways from the event:
Next steps for unlocking corporate procurement of renewable power in South Africa RAiSE will continue to build on the current momentum by bringing together energy value chain stakeholders to deliver on the following priority objectives in 2022:
We look forward to factoring the key outcomes of the discussion at this event into our plans and will be sharing more information on how we will be doing so in the new year. Join us! To engage in RAiSE and its upcoming activities, please reach out to:
