Description: Participating in the energy and power sector as a start-up energy company requires that you gain knowledge into how the sector procures products, services, solutions and systems.
Join on the 22 June at 12h00 for a conversation on the following topics:
- Electricity Utility opportunities and procurement: The electricity sector is going through a transition. Every transition brings with it entrepreneurial opportunities. In this conversation we explore opportunities and how to follow procurement processes and policies to increase your success chances.
- Power and Energy: Original Equipment Manufacturers: South Africa’s transition into clean energy technologies such as wind, solar, waste and other combinations of clean energy means that there is an increasing demand of products, solutions and systems from multi-national companies. In this conversation we explore how start up power and energy companies can work collaboratively with OEMs to capture emerging opportunities.
- Developing a renewable energy project: The Integrated Resources Plan (IRP) is the key electricity policy planning instrument of government. Recently there has been the Risk-Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (RMIPPPP) and the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Program (REIPPPP) Bid Window 5. The REIPPP Bid Window 5 seeks to procure 1 GW of PV and 1.6 GW of wind power. Many entrepreneurs are wondering how they can participate in these opportunities. In this conversation we explore where you can access consulting support as you develop your energy project.
- Access to finance is a challenge for any entrepreneur especially for a high capital intensive sector like energy. In this conversation we look at finance for energy projects.
