SUMMARY:Energy and Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:In Sub-Saharan Africa\, most countries are still developing and without reliable sustainable energy. The provision of reliable clean renewable energy is not only nature positive\, but also reduces the 400 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions emitted annually by South Africa. Using success gained from previous solar projects that we supported or report on\, we offer opportunity to master some fundamentals and specifics required to successfully commission microgrids and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. \nThe adoption of Solar Power is in line with UN SDG7\, since modern clean energy is becoming a cornerstone of decarbonising economies and providing daytime energy assurance. Solar power can reach where the current grid cannot reach due to the cost of transmission lines. \nTarget Group\nSHEQ managers\, facilities managers\, CIOs\, finance managers government officials\, project managers\, lawyers\, engineers\, ESG specialists and auditors. \nContents\n \n\n\n\nCurrent and future state of energy use in Sub-Saharan Africa.\nWhat does Scope 1\, 2\, 3 greenhouse gas emissions mean.\nHow to plan for Net Zero outcomes\nCase studies of successful Solar Farms for how to select the right panel and inverter.\nExploration of net zero goals and South Africa’s Climate change act 22 of 2024.\nEquipment selection and quality standards.\nReview project construction techniques to install within timelines for data centres\, farms\, buildings.\nExploring maintenance planning.\nDay 1 starts with project assessment\, finance trends\, design factors\, and carbon credit calculations.\nDay 2 covers natural capital management\, Climate Change Act 22 of 2024 and Paris Agreement\nDay 3 covers maintenance strategies\, energy reporting\, and global best practices for sustainability.\n\n\n\nOutcomes \nAfter completing this course\, the participant will be able to: \n\nAnalyse Sub-Saharan Africa’s energy landscape\, Scope 1-3 emissions\, and carbon credits.\nEvaluate microgrid systems\, plus optimal solar panel and inverter selection and project structure.\nAssess projects on policies\, regulations\, and sustainable financing\, including GSSB+ bonds.\nReview construction techniques for timely completion and develop maintenance plans for sustainability.\nIntegrate carbon credits with energy projects like solar\, manage natural capital\, and ensure quality compliance\n\nDuration \n3 days. In-person\, UJ on Empire\, Johannesburg. \nCost \nR 9\,999

SUMMARY:Reflecting on South Africa Climate Change Bill of 2024
DESCRIPTION:South Africa is taking bold steps towards a sustainable future! \nSolar Rais Sales and R&D team welcomes you to our 30-minute discussion on the Just Transition\, Urban Transport and Energy. \nThe recent Climate Change Bill of 2024 marks a significant milestone in the country’s commitment to combating climate change. This groundbreaking legislation sets ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change. \nThis online event will focus on the policies impacting the energy and transport sectors at the local\, provincial\, and national government levels. Our goal is to provide valuable insights and facilitate discussions on the implications of the Act and its effects on these industries. \nLet’s discuss together to build a sustainable future for generations to come. \nDuration \n30 minutes \nCost \nFREE \nTo register for this event click here

SUMMARY:Microgrids in Africa
DESCRIPTION:With Africa holding the most solar irradiation and largest growing population by 2050\, the need for renewable energy to create a sustainable future is a main tool in fighting climate change. \nThe adoption of Solar Power is in line with UN SDG7\, since modern clean energy is becoming a cornerstone of decarbonising economies and providing daytime energy assurance. Solar power can reach where the current grid cannot reach due to the cost of transmission lines. \nWhat to expect?\nIn this webinar\, Sabatha (CEO – Solar Rais) along with the Project Finance Institute from UK will cover: \n \nGreen Microgrid finance transactions above $1M across Africa and the major financial structures used.\nThe embedded generation license exemption limit of 100MW in South Africa.\nMonitoring of Microgrids for compliance and regional value trading including Renewable Energy Certificates.\nMicrogrid project finance structure considerations for risk adjusted return adjustment and multilateral insurance in Africa.\nLegally supporting draft templates that can be used to accelerate deal closing time for Microgrids.\n\n\nTo register for this event click here
