CoCT on track to become African energy diversification beacon

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.
