Since 2010, South Africa’s renewables programme has attracted 194bn rand ($14.8bn) of new investment, representing the largest source of investment growth in the SA economy in recent times.
To date, the programme has created 26,790 jobs, of which 47% are occupied by youth and women, and it will result in 92.1bn rand being committed to socio-economic development in mainly rural communities over projects’ 20-year contract periods.
