Wind Energy in South Africa
South Africa is a signatory of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol as well as a signatory of the Copenhagen Accord. The country has committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 34 percent by 2020 and 42 percent by 2025 while still accounting for the natural growth of the economy. This commitment has spurred the growth of the wind energy industry in South Africa and allowed companies such as BTE to invest in sustainable energy technology and push the use of wind energy as a viable and renewable source of power.
