Cape Town allocates extra R87m for electrical maintenance arising from loadshedding

The City of Cape Town Energy Directorate has budgeted an additional R87-million for electrical infrastructure maintenance to deal with loadshedding fall-out and ensure reliable service delivery in this and the next financial year. “Loadshedding continues to hammer city infrastructure that has not been designed for constant loadshedding. Contingency measures are in place, as far as possible,” says City of Cape Town energy MMC Beverly van Reenen.
