Mr. Forlee will be responsible for leading and arranging new renewable energy business development in South Africa, Namibia and throughout the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
With a heavy focus on mining, commercial and heavy industrial sectors, as well as municipalities, O&L Nexentury’s power purchase agreement (PPA) clientele will have, at their disposal, the deep experience, expertise and relationships, that Mr. Forlee brings to O&L Nexentury as it structures, plans and permits independent power producers (IPP).
