Green Economy Strategy Framework

The Green Economy Strategy Framework for the Western Cape focuses on driving business opportunity and investment to become the "lowest carbon province & leading green economic hub of the African continent". Key priorities include renewable energy, where 60% of the 64 REIPPP projects were developed by Western Cape-based developers, and the Atlantis SEZ, which attracted Gestamp with a R220 million investment expected to create 200 permanent jobs. The framework also highlights the WISP initiative, which completed 11 business synergies in six months, and special initiatives such as the Better Living Challenge, a GREEN Finance Support facility, and RIA Waste to support green job creation.

• The Western Cape aims to be the primary center for renewable energy in South Africa, noting that 60% of the 64 projects in the REIPPP were created by developers based in the province.
• The Atlantis SEZ is positioned as a green technology hub, with an initial investment of R220 million from Gestamp projected to generate 200 permanent jobs.
• The WISP initiative focuses on resource efficiency and business opportunities, achieving 11 completed business synergies and 7 under negotiation within a six-month period.
