The City of Cape Town has secured R2.8 billion in funding to invest in its electricity grid—part of a three-year infrastructure plan to beef up its defences against national grid failures. The city plans to spend almost R40 billion on infrastructure projects between 2024 and 2027, including R4 billion on electricity grid upgrades and maintenance.
Where an earlier date is targeted for these goals, this is stated. By 2026, operate the distribution system so as to harness dispatchable energy supply and curtailment programmes to allow the City of Cape Town to mitigate up to 4 stages of load- shedding in City Supply Areas between 06:00 - 22:00 on weekdays.
Since 2019, there has been an unprecedented escalation in load-shedding. While the City of Cape Town has been able to protect City Supply Area customers from up to two stages of load-shedding, the current levels are severely disruptive to the local economy, its future growth and the broader well-being of Cape Town's residents.
Cape Town already stands out from other metros in the country through its alternative energy sources which allow it to reduce the stages of load shedding relative to the national schedules. The City of Cape Town has secured R2.8 billion in funding to pump into expanding and strengthening its electricity grid.
