Renewable energy development zones (REDZ) have a key role to play in the South Africa’s just energy transition, creating priority areas for investment in the electricity grid and increasing South Africa’s green energy map, by enabling higher levels of renewable power penetration, industry organisation the South African Wind Energy Association (SAWEA) says. REDZ are geographical areas where wind and solar photovoltaic power development can occur in concentrated zones.
