Madagascar has signed the SADC Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (SACREEE) Intergovernmental Memorandum of Agreement (IGMoA), becoming the 12th SADC Member State to sign the SACREEE IGMoA.
The Minister for Energy and Hydrocarbons, Hon. Olivier Jean-Baptiste, signed the document on behalf of Madagascar during the 8th SADC Industrialisation Week, witnessed by the SADC Deputy Executive Secretary for Regional Integration, Ms. Angele Makombo N’tumba.
This commitment underscores Madagascar’s dedication to the uptake of clean and green energy, energy efficiency, and increasing energy access for its people.
Since its establishment, the SACREEE Intergovernmental Memorandum of Agreement has now been signed by twelve (12) SADC Member States, namely Angola, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, the United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
Out of the twelve (12) Member States, seven (7) – Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Mauritius, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe – have submitted SACREEE instruments of ratification.
The SADC Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (SACREEE) was established in 2015 by SADC Energy Ministers, with a mandate to promote increased access to modern energy services and improved energy security across the SADC Region.
SACREEE operates from Windhoek, Namibia, as approved by the SADC Council of Ministers, following a recommendation by SADC Ministers responsible for Energy to host the centre in Namibia.
