RENEWABLE ENERGY WEBINAR

Welcome to Absa Retail and Business Bankings’ webinar focused on renewable energy in the manufacturing industry.

Energy security is crucial for businesses’ long-term planning and achieving their growth ambitions. Increasingly unreliable power supply as well as the rising cost thereof impacts the entire value chain, competitiveness and confidence of businesses. Fortunately, businesses do have viable alternatives to traditional power supply such as renewable energy and batteries. These options can play an increasingly important role for South African businesses.

Our panelists will share their macro-economic overview, industry insights, trends and solutions relevant to your business. You will have the opportunity to engage with our panelists by asking questions and sharing your comments
