SAEEC  (0.04 MB)

Day 2 at the 2013 SAEEC facilitated four tracks: Mining and Industrial efficiency, Measurement and Verification (M&V), Cogeneration, Renewable and Alternative Energy.

With South Africa’s continued reliance on coal the Mining track focused on increasing efficiencies in our mines and industry while trying to reduce losses and unlock the potential of the applications.

In the M&V track case studies of projects and the opportunities available with a strong emphasis on the credibility of M&V and the systematic approach to consistent reporting.

Cogeneration attracted the most interest at the 2013 SAEEC with both international and local speakers addressing the inefficiencies of applications and exploring new opportunities for generation of power.

The progress of the fast growing Renewable and Alternative Energy industry in South Africa was showcased in the final track stating the case for the efficiencies of solar, wind and nuclear.

Exhibitors had an increase in foot traffic on day 2 as businesses were giving a free pass into the area where 35 exhibitors showcased the latest energy saving technologies, financing and partnership opportunities. Synergy gained through the exhibition area created an exciting atmosphere on day 2 opening up business opportunities going into 2014.

Karel Steyn, President of the SAEE said: ‘The 2013 SAEEC was another great success and a very positive injection into the energy industry in South Africa. Special thanks must go to the following companies who continue to support and lead the cause for energy efficiency in South Africa: Gold sponsors South African National Accreditation System www.sanas.co.za, Yingli Green Energy Africa www.yinglisolar.com and the Industrial Development Corporation www.idc.co.za  . Other sponsors included Complete Exhibitions www.compex.co.za  and Easigas www.easigas.co.za . Can I urge all South Africans to reduce their energy use and switch off lights, machines and appliances when they are not needed and together we can secure the energy future of our country.’
