With the City of Cape Town being an emerging leader in the new energy space in South Africa, Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis says hosting the Africa Energy Indaba (AEI) at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) bodes well for the city’s energy plans. “While we want to focus the attention on Cape Town as a tourism and event’s destination, we also want to showcase the innovative work that the city is doing on energy: reducing our reliance on State-owned power utility Eskom, increasing our reliance on renewable power, buying our own independent power and generation capacity and investing in storage. Our plans regarding the procurement of significant renewable power of our own in Cape Town will be publicly released in upcoming weeks.”
