The City of Cape Town has announced plans to build a solar plant by next year, in response to escalating bouts of load shedding.

The City said on Wednesday that it has issued a tender in relation to a seven-megawatt plant, which is to be built in Atlantis. The energy it generates will be fed directly into the City's grid.

"It is expected that the Atlantis solar plant will enhance the City's financial sustainability, as the cost of generating the electricity would be lower than the bulk procurement from Eskom. Reducing the dependency on Eskom also means the City can develop and explore more climate-friendly power sources than Eskom's coal-fired power stations."

"Apart from the City's own build generation, strides have also been made to enabling independent power production and small-scale embedded generation," the statement says.

Just another of the numerous reasons why you should vote DA. Unfortunately black racists would rather see their country burn than vote for a liberal party, it’s why SA is in such a complete mess as they vote for idiots & criminals instead.

Great initiative, Durban,Jozi & Pitori where you at?
