SEA's role in this project explored the challenges of affordable electricity service delivery and established an evidence base to equip government to review current policies related to electricity access and explore how to mitigate the potentially negative impacts of renewable energy development on the sustainability of basic electricity access across the country.
This project showcased how C40 African cities have lead the continent’s progress towards achieving SDG 7 through renewable deployment and built their profile as key stakeholders of the transition to renewable energy systems. SEA was commissioned to develop knowledge products showcasing how renewable energy sources are relevant in an African urban context and how support from the international community can help cities trailblaze an energy revolution for Africa.
The project supported the implementation of the ‘electrification of passenger vehicles’ and ‘decarbonising the grid’ work streams of the City of Joburg’s Climate Action Plan. SEA's primary goal in this project was to build the capacity of City officials in order to be EV ready.
