Enel Green Power’s Nontokozi Nkosi joins SAWEA board
Enel Green Power (EGP) Republic of South Africa (RSA) commercial office head Nontokozo Nkosi has been appointed to the board of the South African Wind Energy Association (SAWEA) as a co-opted member.
Having joined EGP RSA in 2016 as a commercial officer, Nkosi’s key responsibilities include identifying and originating new business opportunities. This entails scouting, origination, structuring and pricing of long-term power purchase agreements for new renewable capacity around the world with industrial, commercial and nontraditional offtakers, as well as ensuring the business enjoys organic growth year-on-year.
In addition to her current role, she serves as a board member for the EGP RSA project portfolio.
As a membership body committed to the development of a thriving commercial wind power industry in South Africa, SAWEA acts in the interest of the South African public and seeks to improve the quality of life for all citizens, particularly those who have been systematically disadvantaged and those who have been impacted directly by the industry through its operational practices.
Additionally, its mandate includes promoting wind energy as a viable, affordable and sustainable energy source to power South Africa.
Nkosi believes that her current position within EGP RSA will allow her to “drive the mandate of the association, and I regard it as a privilege to assist SAWEA in realising its vision”.
Nkosi holds a bachelor’s degree in management leadership (strategic management) from the University of the Free State, a post-graduate diploma in business management from Regenesys Business School, and is currently pursuing a Masters of Business Administration.
“Being a part of SAWEA provides the ideal platform for changemakers to network and collaborate on a shared vision and play an instrumental role in driving and advocating for fair opportunities and the overall growth of the renewable energy sector,” she added.
She believes associations like SAWEA and others must “become the industry gatekeepers to drive people empowerment and create fair and open opportunities that will reach all South Africans, while creating an attractive market for local and international investors”.
