Cape Town’s innovative and diverse energy initiatives have gained global recognition, including a recent visit by the World Bank’s Vice President for Eastern and Southern Africa to the Steenbras Hydro Pumped Storage Scheme.
The objective of Cape Town’s infrastructure investment effort is to create the ‘City of Hope.’ The city is setting out on a R120 billion ten-year infrastructure portfolio journey, encompassing projects designed to escalate resilience and ensure energy and water security.
Cape Town’s power supply diversification initiatives include LPUs curtailment, Embedded IPP renewable energy, and a Dispatchable IPP Programme, among others. In addition, the city has rolled out a novel program named Power Heroes.
He said the City was looking to energy storage systems to deal with energy security issues and loadshedding, as well as to deal with future alternative variable energy sources, which will introduce greater intermittency to the grid.
