PROGRAMME

07:00-08:30 Registration and Arrival Tea & Coffee

Alfred HartzenburgNational Project Manager: Industrial Energy Efficiency Project, NCPC-SA“The energy performance knowledge deficit.”

Francis BarramChief Executive Officer, Ensight Energy Solutions"Authentic energy leadership.”

Peter Carruthers Owner, Business Warriors NO“Why consumers don't care about energy efficiency.”

Robert Jeffrey Managing Director & Snr Economist, Econometrix (Pty) Ltd“The economic impact of alternative energy generation sources in South Africa.”

High economic growth is of paramount importance for many emerging economies. The goods producing mining, manufacturing and agricultural sectors are essential to the SA economy. They require their energy sources to offer security of supply at the lowest possible cost. The economic impact of alternative energy sources is therefore of critical importance.

If our future is all about energy efficiency, then why do so many suppliers and sellers in this industry struggle to survive?

Authentic energy leadership is necessary to achieve real, lasting and effective energy and carbon reductions in complex energy intensive industries. Effective energy management needs authentic leadership to arise in the ESCo senior team, in the program of projects, in each project and the client.

Experience has shown that energy performance measurement is probably the least understood by organizations, leading to an incorrect picture of actual energy performance, with subsequent negative implications on the credibility of conformity assessment and perceived value of energy management systems.

Simon GearEnvironmental scientist“ ” Happy cities = Green world

As environmental awareness and energy efficiency become more mainstream we need to change our thinking about these issues. They should no longer be add-ons to a corporate policy but rather a fundamental way of designing cities and businesses, for reasons of environmental responsibility and human well-being.

Energy efficiency (EE) is one of the ways of alleviating the energy shortages in South Africa and a way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which are core goals of the country’s EE strategy. There are multiple tax incentives and grants geared towards EE that are not always taken advantage of by project developers and investors.
