Summary
TIPS has carried out pioneering work in the field of green industries. TIPS provided technical support to the Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) through the part-time secondment of its Programme Manager for Sustainable Growth. TIPS assisted the department in establishing a Sector Strategy for Green Industries as well as a Sub-Sector Strategy for Solar and Wind Power. This work directly led to the establishment of the Green Industries desk at the dti.
TIPS also provided assistance to the dti (as part of the secondment) in finalising the Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme for renewable energy, which is expected to lead to the installation of 3 725 MW of renewable energy in the country.
