Social Ownership of Renewable Energy Dialogue

The Just Transition Framework calls for affordable, decentralised, diversely owned renewable energy systems and for a broadening of ownership of productive assets in support of the just transition.

The PCC conducted a study on Social Ownership of Renewable Energy exploring models of social ownership of renewable energy that will conform to the ‘just transition’ imperative. The literature review summarises and analyses the experience of Social Ownership of Renewable Energy (SORE) globally and in South Africa. Social Ownership of Renewable Energy is a response to the question about the appropriate organisation of society in a Just Transition, and the relations between classes in South Africa.

This webinar will look at global examples and share the constraints and opportunities of SORE in the South African context of the national and local regulatory frameworks needed to realise the opportunity.
