IDC visits Nordex turbine manufacturing facilities in Spain to investigate wind sector …

The Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) has sent a delegation to Spain to visit wind energy company Nordex’s wind turbine manufacturing facilities, as South Africa’s accelerated energy transition and its push for sector industrialisation requires increased local manufacturing, with a projected localisation target of well over 55% for government procurement by the end of the decade. To achieve this, government’s support through policy, smooth procurement and investment will be the key enabler. The exploratory trip will allow for first-hand discussions with the original equipment manufacturer, the IDC says.
