Mechanisms in place for objective, evidence-based assessment and verification of progress in implementing localisation initiatives, taking into account any correlations between local content requirements, investment metrics (e.g. generation capacity, financial returns, costs, prices, etc) and socio-economic development (e.g. employment creation).

Generation from wind farms (GWh) - produced or contracted by Year 4 of project implementation.
Incremental tonnes of CO2 emissions reduction due to wind energy capacity contracted by Year 4.
Number of individuals benefiting from wind-generated electricity by Year 4 of project implementation.
1.1 Enhanced, technology-enabled capability among Government and industry stakeholders to monitor and verify implementation of local content requirements
1.2 Enhanced capacity among Government wind industry stakeholders to objectively monitor and verify factors related to the success or failure of project sponsors to meet local content requirements and socio-economic development commitments

Expanded verified wind atlas (WASA Phase II) completed for additional provinces in support of future wind power project development and procurement mechanisms.Strategic wind corridors/areas identified and formally approved for all WASA Phase II sites. Fully capable policy-makers, regulators and local authorities efficiently dealing with grid connections at all WASA sites.

Capacity developed among relevant stakeholders on technical, financial, regulatory and socio-economic aspects of small-scale wind projects.

Enhanced local stakeholders' capacity to manage, operate and maintain wind farms in a given area based on best practice models developed in other countries.Enhanced skills of local stakeholders to manufacture and/or assemble wind energy components based on the Government of South Africa's localization strategy, taking into account international best practices.
