Cape Town is leading the country’s green energy transition, affirms city Alderman

Cape Town was really taking the lead in the green energy transition, affirmed the city’s Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth, Alderman James Vos, on Tuesday. He was opening the Western Cape trade, tourism and investment promotion agency Wesgro’s Green Hub pavilion at the Enlit Africa 2024 exhibition, in the Cape Town International Convention Centre. He highlighted that the city had a R4-billion budget, over the next three years, to upgrade and maintain its electricity grid, to enable the green energy transition. One of the priorities of this programme was to ensure grid stability, for, without grid stability, green electricity was going to go nowhere.
