The South African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI) was established i 2008 (Act No. 34 of 2008). The Act provides for SANEDI to direct, monitor and condu promote energy research and technology innovation as well as undertake measures to the economy.

“The rise of the knowledge-based economy has resulted in the changes in the patterns and level of energy consumption, which subsequent led to shifts in types of fuels and energy technologies available to us. The energy sector is the backbone of the South African economy and SANEDI plays a key role in enabling the country’s socio-economic advancement.

“In addition to our key energy programmes, we have also worked extensively with the Department of Transport to encourage a Cleaner Mobility programme, with support from the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation. This will result in the increased use of solar PV as part of the smart grids, to charge electric vehicles in the cities.

“SANEDI has elected to focus on high impact focus areas within clean energy that will make the whole clean energy R&D space more complete and comprehensive, as the government and private sector undertake large scale investments in the clean energy infrastructure,” concludes Buthelezi.

“As technologies, such as mini-grid and hybrid solutions, continue to develop and mature, opportunities for innovative energy solutions that can make a meaningful contribution towards community development are becoming increasingly relevant towards improved energy access,” noted Thembakazi Mali, interim CEO at SANEDI.
