In the age of renewable energy, long term planning is crucial for the transformation of the Kingdom of eSwatini’s energy systems and its access to sustainable energy growth. According to the Kingdom of eSwatini Energy Master Plan 2034, a major challenge facing the country’s energy system is a lack of security in energy supply. A few goals based on this plan include, providing energy for all, reducing load shedding and power cuts and ensuring reliable as well as affordable energy among others.
On the 21st February 2019, integrated technology company Siemens hosted an interactive discussion focused on the role that Siemens can play in eSwatini’s energy transition. In attendance, His Royal Highness Honourable Acting Minister of Natural Resources and Energy, Prince Simelane was among other delegates and industry players.
Mark Van Antwerp, Head of Sales, Power Generation, Siemens Southern and Eastern Africa says, “An important factor in the sustainable development and growth for eSwatini’s future is increasing the supply of electricity for domestic, industrial and commercial use throughout the country. At Siemens, we provide solutions for power generation, transmission and distribution.”
“Our collaboration with eSwatini’s government can help the country achieve a sustainable energy future, to enhance the country’s socio economic development,” concludes Mark Van Antwerp.
