Webinar: Pioneering Community Equity Partnerships in RE Projects On Communal Land

An INSPIRE Trust Matters webinar, with Meliquina Partners and Forethought Capital: Learnings from the ANTU solar project in Argentina and an ambitious South African project in development.

Community participation in renewable energy is evolving — from compliance-driven benefit sharing to meaningful equity partnerships. In this webinar we explore how community ownership can become a cornerstone of inclusive energy development. Our featured speaker, Juan Dumas shares insights from the pioneering ANTU solar project — one of the few large-scale renewable energy projects worldwide to embed community equity on communal land. In dialogue with Masechaba Mabilu and Methuli Mbanjwa, we unpack the lessons, challenges, and opportunities for South Africa’s renewable energy landscape. Let’s reimagine what shared ownership can look like — and how trust, innovation, and collaboration can drive a more equitable energy transition.
