Etana Energy

With Windaba 2024 underway, it’s a great time to highlight the importance of wind to power South African industry. The wind blows day and night, making it the perfect complement to solar, which generates in daylight hours. ☀️🌬️ #windaba2024

We're excited to announce that Etana Energy will have two of our executives speaking at the Windaba 2024 Conference & Exhibition! Evan Rice and Jay Govender will be sharing insights during this leading event, which focuses on the resilience and growth of the wind sector under the theme: "Building Resilience Through Wind Power." Looking forward to connecting with industry leaders and driving sustainable energy solutions forward! #Windaba2024 #RenewableEnergy #WindPower

Etana is a game-changer for large South African energy users. We can help our customers cover up to 70% of their electricity needs with low carbon energy, delivering savings from Day 1, and providing long term price certainty—without any upfront costs, and no infrastructure on their site. So how how does it work? Here's a 1 minute explainer.

South Africa's Renewable Energy Pipeline Doubles in One Year The 2024 South African Renewable Energy Grid Survey (SAREGS) reveals that industry has opened the throttle for renewable energy development in South Africa and demonstrates that new renewable energy project development pipeline has doubled in one year. However, near-term grid capacity is limited. The survey, jointly published by Eskom, SAPVIA and SAWEA, gathers near-term renewable energy projections to inform medium-to-long term (+-10 year) grid expansion planning as well as the transmission infrastructure development plan for the National Transmission Company of SA. New capacity refers to projects connected to the national power system derived from new generation facilities or the expansion of existing ones. The renewable energy industry is responding to the current lack of grid capacity in the high renewable energy regions (solar in the Northern Cape and wind energy in the Eastern and Western Cape). There is no capacity left for additional power to be connected to the grid in the western half of South Africa. Medium- to long-term developers are still pursuing high renewable energy areas, for when additional transmission grid infrastructure is built. Short-term projects are shifting to areas that have available grid capacity now. Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal have the most grid availability, with 6 000MW available each. The North West, northern Free State and Limpopo are the major focus areas for solar, and Mpumalanga and northern KwaZulu-Natal mainly for wind. At Etana Energy, we enable customers to access clean energy through the grid. Our process is simple, flexible and hassle-free, with no upfront investment from the customer, and only requires an additional meter to be installed.
