The City of Cape Town (CoCT) intends to procure bulk electricity, depending on the commercial viability, of at least 5 MWac from waste-to-energy independent power producers (IPPs) through power purchase agreements (PPAs) for up to 20 years. For the contract to be commercially viable, the city says that the energy pricing must be lower than Eskom’s equivalent tariff, and emissions must also be lower than Eskom’s grid emissions factor.
