Realising just renewable energy community solutions

Realising just renewable energy community solutions

This exciting ground-breaking project brings together three South African social movements from different urban locales, supported by two service NGOs to re-construct and implement a campaign that realizes widespread installation and operation of community-led socially owned renewable energy solutions.

The project represents new ground in locating advocacy for a just transition within the social movements.  The goal is to strengthen and enable social movements in South Africa to engage all tiers of government towards realising renewable energy community solutions that can become implemented at scale.

Moving to a Just Transition

Increasingly informed and organised social movement engagement with bolster the demand for local government to develop and implement policies, instruments and delivery modalities that incentivise/enable renewable energy delivery to communities they represent. The project seeks to nurture and support champions within partner movements to engage effectively with local governments, and other actors, towards a just transition which promotes/enables renewable energy solutions.

There must be a better way…

By engaging local governments and stakeholders, we aim to create policies and mechanisms that enable widespread adoption of clean energy.
