Cape Town - Two Western Cape municipalities, Stellenbosch and George have announced that they are investigating the use and generation of alternate electricity energy supplies to beat load shedding and become more energy resilient.
The separate announcements come in the wake of the promulgation of the Electricity Regulation Act in October 2020 by Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe, which gave municipalities the green light to participate in electricity generation.
Stellenbosch mayor Gesie van Deventer said: “Making use of brilliant internal research entities, experts at the University of Stellenbosch, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and the provincial government, we will focus on various potential sources of energy production.
