The City of Cape Town has received hundreds of applications each month this year, from residents and businesses wanting to participate in its cash-for-electricity initiative, to circumvent load-shedding.
As part of this strategy, the City of Cape Town set aside R53 million to establish its own cash-for-electricity initiative, to enable the sale of excess power by homes and businesses with small-scale embedded generation. “This is thanks to our cash-for-power campaign that will soon pay cash to our customers, for the surplus power they produce that will be fed into the municipal grid,” she noted.
The system, run in George Municipality, is now being piloted with 40 businesses, according to Van Reenen.
