The Western Cape government has been on an investment drive to Europe, exploring ways to make the province more energy efficient.
Western Cape premier Alan Winde has taken a delegation to France and Germany this week, following a week in the United Kingdom and Belgium, meeting with key players in the European energy market.
Winde said that South Africa needs to be open-minded when looking for solutions to deal with load shedding. The delegation is set to look into the new “energy market” seen in Europe, which is experimenting with Green Hydrogen . According to the premier, the province is in the ideal position for local GH2 offtake and export – this aligns the province with its goal of being the hub for South Africa’s green economy.
“If we can attract increased foreign investment and entice more would-be entrepreneurs into the power production field, especially renewable energy, we can help resolve South Africa’s electricity shortfall and create more jobs in the process,” said Winde.
