Skills needed to foster transition

South Africa’s renewable-energy transition requires skills development and the educating of the country’s renewable-energy sector stakeholders, says Economic Development Solutions (EDS) head of business development Eckart Zollner. “In South Africa, there are concerns around an energy industry that’s been built around coal and crude-oil-fired power stations. Stakeholders must, thus, be educated regarding the reasons for and benefits of this energy transition and the associated opportunities.”
