Partnerships for green inclusive development

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
