This page contains a list of documents relating to the Capacity Building Project in Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Project, or CaBEERE. Although the project came to an end in December 2005, relevant information will remain here as an archive.

The CaBEERE documents on this page are divided into these categories:

• Public energy efficiency;
• Public renewable energy;
• Public capacity building;
• Public participation initiatives; and
• CaBEERE newsletters

A joint project between the governments of South Africa and Denmark, CaBEERE aimed at building capacity in energy efficiency and renewable energy.

The project contributed towards sustainable development by resourcing the DME and relevant stakeholders to formulate and facilitate the implementation of strategies and legislation promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy. CaBEERE management would like to thank all stakeholders and consultants for your inputs, your efforts, and, above all, your support.
