Samenvatting:
There exists a big potential for renewable energy technologies in SouthAfrica and despite the fact that rapid growth of the application of
renewable energy is taken place in many parts of the world, the current
installed renewable capacity in South Africa is negligible. The objective
of this study was to address this gap by analysing ways to accelerate
the market penetration of re-newable energy technologies in South Africa.
The activities undertaken in this study contain two major components:
a thorough analysis of South Africa?s specific constraints and barriers
to renewable energy implementation, and a review of the lessons learnt
from Member States of the EU on the promotion of renewable energy development.
The focus of the study was restricted to the analysis of electricity
generating technologies, in particular solar, biomass, wind and mini-hydro
renewable energy technologies. The report suggests recommendations to
stimulate the market penetration of renewable energy technologies in
South Africa. They are structured in:
actions to enhance the policy framework for renewable power generation,
actions to enhance the policy framework for off-grid renewable energy,
and
recommendations to stimulate renewable energy project development.
