The International Energy Agency (IEA) is currently working on establishing a wind atlas for Africa with a focus on the Southern African Development Community (SADC). South Africa’s Energy Minister Dipuo Peters, with the Danish Minister for Climate, Energy, and Building Martin Lidegaard, launched a South African wind energy awareness campaign called “Powered by Wind” on December 8.
This marks the first campaign in the country that is focused on creating awareness around wind energy, which is set to start in early 2012. “Powered by Wind” will have various phases focusing on communities in the Western, Northern, and Eastern Capes, primary schools in three provinces, and NGOs.
