The City of Cape Town (CoCT) is working on diversifying its energy resources to significantly reduce its reliance on struggling State-owned power utility Eskom in the next two years and, thereby, the impact of loadshedding on its customers. The municipality intends to end loadshedding for customers and offer more affordable, cleaner energy, and is on track to become a shining light of energy diversification in Africa, says CoCT Energy MMC Councillor Beverley van Reenen.
It is important that local municipalities manage South Africa’s available power supply as efficiently as possible by adopting smart-grid enabling products, as the country continues to battle electricity generation constraints, especially with President Cyril Ramaphosa having stated that loadshedding is not expected to end any time soon. Municipalities need to be in a position to accurately meter and recover the cost of supplying electricity and limit the losses associated with illegal connections and inefficient equipment by procuring equipment capable of capturing data that reflects the state of their systems, says energy management and automation specialist Schneider Electric Anglophone Africa power systems VP Vladimir Milovanovic.
