The implementation of the alternative energy sustainability strategy aimed at shifting Johannesburg’s reliance on Eskom to alternative energy sources is set to start before the end of the week.

“It is an open secret that the city’s relationship with Eskom is not easy because of prolonged power cuts in some Johannesburg communities,” said Moerane, adding that the city remained committed to securing a reliable power supply capable of serving all the city.

The plan is aligned with the Joburg Growth and Development Strategy, the GDS 2040, and “is also in sync with our climate action plan which aims to ensure that by 2030, at least 35% of electricity generated in the city is from clean energy sources”. “Furthermore, our strategy will see the city sourcing 200MW of electricity from photovoltaic farms and rooftop suppliers. We will also be able to support another 200MW of private photovoltaic electricity generation on the grid through wheeling and trading,” said Moerane.
