The Government of South Africa in cooperation with SANEDI (South African National Energy Development Institute) and REN21 (Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century) will host the South Africa International Renewable Energy Conference (SAIREC) 4-7 October, 2015.
In October 2015, South Africa will become the sixth country, and the first in Africa, to host the International Renewable Energy Conference (IREC). Convened by REN21, IREC is a high-level political conference series hosted by a national government.
