“This means the city is set to reduce our reliance for generating capacity on our national power utility by up to 15%, thereby minimising the chances of Eskom’s scheduled load-shedding,” executive mayor Mpho Moerane said at the unveiling of the strategy in Fordsburg on Tuesday. “The week before then, we closed the two-year power purchase agreement on the privately owned Kelvin power station, which has since confirmed an additional 220MW capacity for the city instead of the initially underestimated 180MW,” Moerane said.
The new energy sustainability strategy will see electricity distribution company City Power turned into an energy service provider. Addressing concerns that the announcement was election talk, Moerane said the developments were “not overnight initiatives for political campaigning. These are the results of years of work by the women and men in our municipal power utility, City Power. It is a coincidence to reach this stage in recent weeks following three years of interruptions in the planning processes”.
Another 50MW will be sourced through gas-powered electricity generation, and 25MW more from waste-to-energy in the Robinson Deep landfill site, making up almost 500MW in total.
Eskom will never let it happen, unless some palms are crossed with silver
At what cost?
