Eben de Vos leads Lyra Energy, the South African clean energy platform backed by Scatec, Standard Bank, and Stanlib. Under his leadership, Lyra has moved from concept to delivery at pace, securing an electricity trading licence from NERSA and signing one of South Africa’s first pooled commercial and industrial offtake agreements for the 255 MW Thakadu solar project. De Vos has been an advocate for unlocking private, wheeled renewable power for the commercial and industrial sector, arguing that through strong partners, pooled and risk-managed contracts can bring large-scale clean energy within reach of business and industry. At the EIUG / C+I Summit, he brings a track record, and a trusted practitioner’s view of how South Africa’s wheeling framework and wholesale energy market are opening up for energy-intensive users.
