The South African Renewables Initiative (SARi) has been established to support the rapid and ambitious scaling up of renewables in a manner that delivers economic, social and environmental benefits without incurring unacceptable domestic cost burdens.
SARi was launched as an International Partnership by the Government of the Republic of South Africa together with the Governments of Denmark, Germany, Norway and the UK, and the European Investment Bank on 7 December 2011 in Durban, during UNFCCC COP17.
Ministers Peters (South Africa), Solheim (Norway) , Davies (South Africa), High Commissioner Brewer (UK) and Ambassador Freitag (Germany), Minister Lidegaard (Denmark) and Vice President Brooks (European Investment Bank).
