Cape Town looks to IPPs to make the city load-shedding resilient by 2027

Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis is taking steps to protect the city from Stage 3 load-shedding by 2027 at a minimum – but preferably Stage 4 – in a move that he believes will facilitate “meaningfully faster” growth across the metropole. “Not only is it inconvenient to have load-shedding, but right now the energy crisis is the biggest handbrake on the South African economy.”
