The South African Wind Energy Association (SAWEA) says it supports the first-of-its-kind $8.5-billion green financing deal announced at the COP26 climate talks earlier in November. SAWEA, on behalf of the wind power industry and South Africa’s broader renewable energy sector, says this deal – which comprises multi and bilateral grants, concessional loans, guarantees and private investment – will provide impetus for South Africa’s accelerated uptake of green energy.
