Two examples for success and constraints to transformation from South Africa:
•REBID: Wind, Solar•Solar Water Heater roll out
Key factors
• Monetary incentives for the implementation of renewable energy technology
• Number of stake holders• Interests of stakeholders
Opportunities for replication
• Green: mitigation, renewable energy• Inclusive: subsidy for low income communities• Constraints: – large number of stakeholders in REBID– Lack of information between stakeholders – Diverging interests
• Drivers: decentralized, off-grid SWH technology
