Creamer Media, in partnership with EY Parthenon, will be hosting a webinar on Advancing South Africa’s energy transition on Wednesday, 2 February 2022 at 10:00.

This webinar will centre on plans underway to enable South Africa to transition to a low-carbon economy. Some of the focal points of the webinar will include:

Eskom’s plans to extend and strengthen the national grid as part of a broader shift towards more decentralised electricity generation;

• an exploration of some of the repowering and repurposing prospects for the decommissioned coal stations and mines;
• the role that Eskom’s Just Energy Transition strategy can play in supporting vulnerable workers, communities and businesses;
• the role that the Presidential Climate Commission can and should play in defining the just transition and monitoring its implementation; and
• the risks and opportunities for South Africa as more and more countries make net-zero commitments.

Confirmed speakers include:

• Paul O’Flaherty, Executive Director and Africa Lead – EY-Parthenon
• Andre de Ruyter, CEO – Eskom
• Tsakani Mthombeni, Executive of Sustainable Developments – Implats
