As South Africa's energy landscape evolves, the integration and management of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) becomes crucial for a resilient and sustainable power system. This webinar aimsed to discuss the key aspects of a roadmap for the effective management of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) in South Africa, with a focus on the use of Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS) for effective and efficient DER management.

Through expert insights, the webinar explored:

• The current state of DERs in South Africa: Analysing the existing landscape of rooftop solar, mini-grids, wind and other DER technologies, including challenges and opportunities.
• Policy and regulatory framework: Examining the existing policy environment and proposing improvements to support widespread DER adoption and integration.
• Technology and infrastructure needs: Identifying technological solutions and infrastructure upgrades necessary for efficient DER management.
• International best practices: Drawing lessons from successful DER implementation in other countries.
