FOREWORD

We are extremely excited to have been given the opportunity to organise the Inaugural Tshwane Energy Summit (TES) by the City of Tshwane. Leading institutions such as the South African Reserve Bank and National Treasury have identified energy and logistics as the biggest constraints to the South African economy. Thus, the City of Tshwane is no exception and as the seat of government, diplomatic hub and export-led economy accounting for the biggest share of automotive exports among others, has borne the brunt of this economic downturn.

The Tshwane Energy Summit seeks to respond to this crisis and promises not to be another talk shop but a solution-oriented summit involving local and international stakeholders.

This is an ideal platform for the City of Tshwane to share its Climate Action Plan (CAP) and the City’s Energy Action Plan. Furthermore, stakeholders in the energy sector will receive updates on policy instruments that will facilitate wheeling of energy through the municipal infrastructure and imbedded energy generation.

Industry role-players will have an opportunity to make inputs to policies and bylaws that are being crafted and share their ideas on how best the city can tackle the energy crisis it is facing which affects all stakeholders.

The Summit also provides a platform for companies to showcase their innovative solutions to other role players including the city, government departments, businesses and the media.

We are confident that the Tshwane Economic Development Agency is geared towards hosting another successful, well curated summit to address the needs of various stakeholders that will be attending this Inaugural Tshwane Energy Summit. We wish all delegates and participants insightful and fruitful engagements over the two days of conferencing, exhibitions, panel discussions and business-to-business meetings that will define the Summit.

Let’s #TES2024!
