In this Business Day TV interview, G7 Renewable Energies CEO Kilian Hagemann discusses South Africa’s evolving energy landscape, renewable energy development, and the opportunities shaping the sector. He explains how G7 Renewable Energies was founded in 2009 following his doctoral research into South Africa’s wind resource, which helped identify some of the country’s most promising wind energy development areas and laid the foundation for the company’s project development strategy.
The interview also explores G7’s role in developing utility-scale wind, solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, the benefits of hybrid renewable energy solutions, and how energy wheeling enables renewable electricity to be supplied to customers through South Africa’s national grid.
The evolution of South Africa’s electricity market is creating new opportunities for renewable energy, wheeling and private power supply, helping connect energy producers and consumers in new ways.
