“Given the accelerated global movement towards investment in a clean energy transition, there’s a need to upskill, retrain and develop a workforce to take full advantage of the opportunities presented by this [just energy] transition.” − Eskom_SA

Power utility Eskom and the South African Renewable Energy Technology Centre yesterday signed a memorandum of agreement to formalise a collaboration to develop renewable energy artisan skills in South Africa, to support the implementation of the Eskom Just Energy Transition strategy.

Eskom’s JET office was established in 2020 and has made significant strides to progress the evolution for transition towards a cleaner and greener energy future. He emphasised the JET framework will have implications for the education and social security sectors, and will also require work to be done to ensure the framework finds expression within government plans and budgets.

Eskom notes Saratec has, since its inception, established itself not only as a renewable energy subject matter expert but significantly contributed to the national skills pool of artisans and technicians, with a special focus on wind and solar. The objective is to educate, reskill and upskill Eskom Komati Power Station staff and qualifying beneficiaries from the surrounding communities in the Mpumalanga region.
