For us, this nomination is a meaningful recognition of the importance of putting people at the centre of the energy transition, and of the work being done across the sector to ensure renewable energy delivers lasting value for communities 💚 The winner will be announced at the South African Wind Energy Association (SAWEA) Industry Awards Gala Dinner on 7 October 2026, as part of Windaba 2026 in Cape Town.

𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗣𝗜𝗥𝗘 𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗮 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲! We're looking forward to being part of #Windaba2026 on 6–7 October at CTICC2 in Cape Town. The 𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 pillar in this year's theme connects strongly with our work as conversations around community participation, localisation, skills development, employee ownership and ensuring that the benefits of renewable energy are more broadly shared are central to building a people-centred just energy transition. And for INSPIRE, the People pillar is also about bringing communities into the conversation. Community Trusts are important shareholders in the renewable energy sector, playing a role in translating renewable energy investments into meaningful and sustainable community impact. Their experiences, perspectives and voices have an important place in conversations about the future of the sector. We're excited to be at Windaba to contribute to these conversations, connect with the renewable energy community and create opportunities for Community Trusts to participate.
