Event Details

South Africa's Offshore Wind Roadmap Team, comprising of the Department of Mineral Resources & Energy, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Carbon Trust, ESMAP, Meridian Economics, and the World Bank Group, in partnership with SAWEA, invites stakeholders to a webinar to present the draft Offshore Wind Roadmap for input and discussion.


The offshore wind roadmap study was initiated in late 2023. Its aim was to identify the most suitable areas for offshore wind development, provide recommendations on the policy and regulatory environment, and assess the economic and Just Transition benefits for South Africa. This study, supported by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy, has now progressed to the point where a draft roadmap has been compiled.
