The Drakenstein municipality in the Western Cape – encompassing Paarl, Wellington, Mbekweni, Gouda, Saron, Hermon and Simondium – reports that it is exploring the procurement of electricity from independent power producers (IPPs) to mitigate the negative impact of ongoing load-shedding by Eskom. Executive Mayor Alderman Conrad Poole reports that, working together with the Western Cape government, Drakenstein is investigating a combination of renewable energy resources, such as solar and wind, as well as using gas instead of electricity.
