The province of Gauteng is the primary economic driving force for the continent of Africa. It also contains a densely populated urban metropolis, which along with the mining, processing, manufacturing and construction sectors has an immense appetite for energy.
Due to its relevance to Africa and thus to the world, Gauteng
is strategically critical to any discourse about sustainability, and
energy is at the epicentre of that issue.
Introducing the Gauteng Energy Efficiency Seminar – an
event that seeks to promote knowledge about the realities of
energy consumption in Gauteng, identify the opportunities for
achieving efficiencies, and facilitate the lifting of institutional
barriers to unlocking these opportunities.
Hosted by the EnerKey Initiative of the University of
Johannesburg, the Gauteng Energy Efficiency Seminar will
bring together provincial and local government, commerce
and industry and professionals and consultants to discuss,
debate, learn about and ultimately implement effective energy
efficiency interventions.
This intensive, one day seminar will feature elucidating
presentations from world class speakers such as invited
luminaries John L Less (Clinton Climate Foundation), Head of
Gauteng Energy Efficiency Strategy, Dr Ajay Mathur (DG of
the India Bureau of Energy Efficiency), Jeremy Gibberd – CSIR,
Prof. Elsa du Toit (SAHA International) as well as other regional
thinkers and decision-makers, with an emphasis on the facts
and on practical, effective solution finding.
Also happening at the Seminar: the official launch of the
Sustainable Energy Resource Handbook, edited by Professor
Elsa du Toit, Associate Director at SAHA International and
former Director for Energy Efficiency at the DME. All attending
delegates will receive a free copy of the Handbook.
Glean a deeper understanding of why Gauteng is embracing
EE from those that are directing energy efficiency
internationally and in Gauteng, network with regional decision
makers in industry, commerce and government and leverage
these new ideas and relationships into your activities and
projects.
The Gauteng Energy Efficiency Seminar is a micro-event and
limited delegate seats are available.
