The future has a habit of creeping up on you before you know it, so it pays to be prepared well in advance. That\u2019s why Sandton Central and the\u00a0Sandton Convention Centre<\/a>\u00a0are so excited to be hosting\u00a0The Future Energy Show<\/a>\u00a0on the 25th and 26th of April.<\/p>\n

Bringing clean, future-forward energy solutions into the heart of the city, the Future Energy Show is described as \u201cthe meeting place for the brightest and most innovative minds from utilities, IPPs, government, large energy users, innovative solution providers and more, from across Africa and the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event consists of an industry conference and networking opportunities in the form of a networking lounge, guest buyer program and networking app. Open to the public is an exciting free exhibition, showing off cutting-edge sustainability solutions and foregrounding local installers and innovators for you to explore. To pique your interest and get you thinking about how to incorporate sustainability in your life, here are some benefits to going sustainable, compiled by Sandton Central!<\/p>\n

1. Cost savings<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sustainable energy solutions, such as solar and wind power, can generate electricity for your home at a lower cost than traditional energy sources, such as coal and natural gas. If you\u2019re stunned by your electricity bill every month, or your pre-paid meter is starting to feel like it might be rigged, it might be worth your while to invest once-off in a sustainable setup, and reap the saving benefits over time.<\/p>\n

As sustainable energy technology advances exponentially, it\u2019s become more attainable and affordable to incorporate these solutions into your personal residential home. No more debit order blues or arguing over whose turn it is to add a power voucher \u2013 just switch over to your backup power source and stop paying exorbitant rates for a basic amenity.<\/p>\n

2. Environmental benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You want to look after the planet, right? Well, by choosing sustainable energy solutions for your home, you can help reduce your carbon footprint and protect the environment. When you choose renewable energy sources, you reduce greenhouse gas emissions and do your part to mitigate the effects of climate change. As these effects begin to become more apparent every year, it\u2019s imperative that we all acknowledge our personal responsibility to our fellow global citizens and actively take steps towards reducing the harm we do on a day-to-day basis. Choosing sustainable energy at home is a significant step in the right direction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Energy independence<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Make rolling blackouts and inconvenient outages at home the least of your worries, and stop dreading that \u201cPushed to Stage 4\u201d notification when you\u2019ve planned to cook a delicious dinner. By generating your own renewable energy, you can become less reliant on the grid and reduce your dependence on non-renewable sources of energy.<\/p>\n

The sun and wind don\u2019t need to shed any loads, and they\u2019re present year-round! Escape that frustration that\u2019s started to feel somewhat inevitable and keep your home immune to unpredictable schedules and uncontrollable power surges. Disclaimer: When your neighbours know you\u2019ve gone totally off the grid, you might be getting a whole bunch of unannounced visitors. Buy an extra box of tea just in case!<\/p>\n

4. Increased home value<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With everything going on around our country\u2019s power supply, having solar installed in your home is now even more of a benefit than a sparkling blue pool, a rolling lawn or a second lounge! Homes that feature sustainable energy solutions, such as solar panels and geothermal heating, tend to have a higher resale value than homes that rely solely on traditional energy sources.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to invest in your quality of life right now, and invest in your future if you\u2019re thinking of selling or renting, going sustainable is the smart choice! The Future Energy free exhibition would be the perfect place to explore your options and ask industry professionals which solution they think has the most longevity and investment value.<\/p>\n

5. Health benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Did you know that some traditional sources of energy \u2013 like gasoline and burning coal – actively worsen the quality of the air in your community? Using sustainable energy sources can help mitigate that. Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar produce no air pollution, whereas burning fossil fuels can release harmful pollutants that can harm human health and contribute to respiratory diseases. Even if there\u2019s no power plant in your area, choosing sustainable energy can help out the communities where they might exist. By doing your part to lighten the load on these facilities, you\u2019re reducing the volume of waste materials they produce. Pay it forward and be kind with sustainable energy choices!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There\u2019s absolutely no doubt that choosing sustainable energy is the way of the future. To live in harmony with our planet, nature and fellow man, we need to actively change the trajectory our energy production has taken, and assume personal responsibility for how and when we get our power.<\/p>\n

You can take charge and make conscious choices when you get informed at events like the Future Energy Show. We\u2019re excited to see you there and explore sustainability with the Sandton Central community.\u00a0\u00a0Find out more about this event on their site.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
