The City of Cape Town will invest R1.2 billion into a solar PV and battery storage project, which should produce 60MW of renewable energy – potentially shielding the city from one stage of load shedding.
In another interesting development, Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis has announced that the City will design, build, and operate a R1.2 billion ($66 million) solar PV plant with battery storage capable of providing up to a full stage of load-shedding protection.
Cape Town is the first city in the country to offer households and businesses cash for power from their solar PV systems, with the feed-in tariff set to increase by 10.15% for 2023/24, plus a 25c per kWh incentive. Read: Hospitals spend almost R700 million to avoid load shedding in South Africa
[email protected] Cape Argus Construction has started at the City-run solar PV plant in Atlantis, aimed at fostering job creation and reducing dependence on traditional energy sources.
We are ready to generate electricity and play a vital role in advancing South Africa’s green energy production with this innovative hybrid energy solution,” adds Fourie. Scatec holds 51% of the equity and H1 Holdings, our local Black Economic Empowerment partner, owns the remaining 49%.
Dispatchable power production and releasing stored energy during peak demand make these plants ideal for meeting region-wide energy needs during high consumption periods. Jan Fourie, EVP of Sub-Saharan Africa, emphasises the significance of this endeavour, stating, “This isn’t just about powering homes; it’s about empowering communities.
