RECORD

Renewable Energy Centre of Research and Development established

Vision - To facilitate RE research coordination, collaboration and dissemination of national and international RE energy knowledge contributing towards a sustainable low carbon energy future

Mission - To be recognised as the foremost institution for RE research coordination and collaboration in SA

RECORD CORE ACTIVITIES

RECORD has completed:Stakeholder mapping (areas of interest; research underway/done) and meetings.

Research Gap Analysis.Research project management for industry clients.

Research knowledge clusters formed in different RE fields.Several new inter-institutional collaborations initiated and facilitated by RECORD.

RECORD is intimately involved with establishment of wind (SAWETC) and solar (CSTDI) energy training centres in South Africa. Hosted (with kind input of GIZ) two study tours to date

to Europe for stakeholders to experience similar centres in operation and gain insight in to them. RECORD is also engaging all relevant tertiary training institutions in this regard.

RECORD has printed a publication encompassing all previous areas of SANEDI funded research and a gap/opportunity analysis thereof

RECORD has a project management package articulated for industrial partners who wish to engage in research from the applied to pilot/demonstration phase.

Awareness is raised through the RECORD website and in schools through a pilot RE art competition (only in Eastern Cape at this stage).

RECORD is engaging with various institutions and associations with regards to RE technology standards development, in order to facilitate this wherever there is a need.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY & SANEDI’s ROLE

The DoE has indicated that SANEDI should not be involved in EE-implementation.

The focus has shifted towards integrated M & V, including consolidated reporting & training.

Links in with current oversight role for EE Tax incentives.

Consolidated on-line database has been developed for this activity.

Requested to assist in co-ordinating SWH communication activities amongst all stakeholders.
