Industry organisation the South African Wind Energy Association (SAWEA) has announced the reappointment of Mercia Grimbeek as chair for a second two-year term.

Grimbeek, who has served on the board of governance since 2018, has been part of South Africa’s renewable energy sector since its inception 11 years ago.

Grimbeek, together with the board, which also remains unchanged, will usher SAWEA into a period of unprecedented growth, with the ramping up of new deployments and rolling procurement, the organisation notes.

“My vision has always been to see wind power as an emancipator of transformation and growth in South Africa with SAWEA at the helm and the association has a key role to play, now more than ever.

"As our country joins its global counterparts in driving down carbon emissions, on the home front our battle is just as pertinent as we continue to push for an accelerated transition to increased energy availability characterised by significantly larger percentages of green electrons in our power supply,” says Grimbeek.
