Skills push to move Eskom away from coal

Eskom is working with the South African Renewable Technology Centre to upskill its workers and adapt to the shift to renewable energy, moving away from coal power stations.

The JET Strategy places importance on the ‘transition to lower carbon technologies,’ while taking the workforce into account, said Eskom. SARETEC is an initiative of the Department of Higher Education and Training and focuses specifically on accredited training in the renewable energy industry – including wind and solar.

Eskom said that as a member of both the South African Wind Energy Association and the South African Solar Photovoltaic Industry Association , it would continue to draw ongoing support from them.“Given the accelerated global movement towards investment in a clean energy transition, there is a need in South Africa to upskill, retrain and develop a workforce to take full advantage of the opportunities presented by this transition,” said Eskom.
