Overview : The South African government through the Department of Energy (DoE) in collaboration with the Department of Trade and Industry (the DTI), and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is implementing the project, Market Transformation through the Introduction of Energy Efficiency Standards and the Labelling of Household Appliances in South Africa (S&L Project). The project’s objective is removing inefficient appliances from the South African market and encouraging adoption of new minimum energy performance standards (MEPS). The project forms an integral part of the measures/interventions designed to reduce electricity consumption and the carbon footprint of the residential sector. The project paves the way for the continuous introduction of energy efficiency improvements into the appliances and equipment industry. UNDP is therefore seeking to recruit an experienced S&L business analyst (BA) to support the development of the programme’s S&L database. The consultant must demonstrate strong knowledge and experience in the development and assessment of databases built specifically for appliance S&L programmes. Knowledge of the South African S&L programme will be an advantage. |
