Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>The Eswatini Government is thriving for the country to generate enough electricity using technological advances and improve electricity.<\/b><\/p>\n

This was mentioned during the Eswatini Energy Indaba that took place last week Thursday at the Royal Villas in Ezulwini. The event was under the theme \u2018Enabling energy security in Eswatini,\u2019 where various organisations gathered and discussed on ways to produce enough renewable energy for the country.<\/p>\n

During the meeting, Minister of Natural Resources and Energy Prince Lonkhokhela said the Eswatini Government had visibly improved on making sure there was enough electricity in the country.<\/p>\n

He said the Government was taking major strides towards achieving energy security for the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world needs more of green energy which does not pose a threat to the environment, which would bring a transformative solution to climate change. The Eswatini government\u2019s efforts to increase the production and utilization of renewable energy are commendable.<\/p>\n

The move towards sustainable energy sources will not only benefit the environment, but also create job opportunities, promote economic growth, and increase access to energy for all. It is a step towards a brighter, more sustainable future in Eswatini,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The event was sponsored by Standard Bank. The Minister then thanked Standard Bank for sponsoring the event and pleaded to other similar organizations for their support in the means of generating clean energy.<\/p>\n

During the event, various organisations presented their proposals and ideas on how to increase the production and utilisation of renewable energy. The discussions were on how to harness the potential of solar, wind, and hydropower as alternative sources of energy.<\/p>\n

One of the proposals presented was the installation of solar panels on rooftops of public buildings and homes. One of the presenters said the idea is to create a decentralised system of energy production, where households and institutions could generate their electricity and feed the excess back into the grid, which would not only reduce the country\u2019s dependence on fossil fuels but also empower communities in the country to take charge of their energy needs.<\/p>\n
