The City of Cape Town has released a tender request for new energy security initiatives.
The City of Cape Town is awaiting responses to tenders issued relating to new energy security initiatives.
According to the city, its latest initiative aims to assist in ending load shedding over time and diversify the energy supply through private participation and the purchasing of electricity from energy trading platforms. Geordin Hill-Lewis said the 500MW project does not aim to entirely cut ties with Eskom, as that would require more time and investment.
‘”It is evident that the South African electricity supply system is undergoing rapid change under the immense pressure of escalating supply shortages.”
