Open call to local businesses to access free green economy help desks to improve energy and water resilience
In achieving energy and water security and climate resilience, the Western Cape Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning seeks to highlight the importance of resource resilience for business competitiveness, confidence, investment, growth, job preservation and job creation. To support this, the Department aims to facilitate the growth of a green economy ecosystem for businesses and the uptake of green technologies (with a focus on energy and water) through business support roadshows.
These roadshows look to drive greater awareness of energy and water efficiency through help desks and the provision of information (technical, financial, and regulatory) on energy-related and water-related matters.
The roadshow aims to provide direct support to businesses, SMMEs, and companies across all sectors in the respective districts of the Western Cape Province. Each stop on the roadshow will give you access to:
• One-on-one consultations with green economy sector desk experts
• Resources that will assist businesses with investment decisions on building energy and water resilience
• Networking opportunities with other businesses and ecosystem players.
The helpdesks and information provided by green economy sector desk experts will cover the following:
• A snapshot overview of the renewable energy and water landscapes in South Africa
• Step-by-step guides for improving energy and/or water resilience for businesses
• Finance and incentive options
• Case study examples of energy and water resilience initiatives in action.
Businesses, companies, SMMEs, entrepreneurs and stakeholders across the green economy value chain are invited to attend the roadshow at the preferred location by scanning the QR code below. Alternatively, please direct inquiries to: [email protected]
