Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis says the City of Cape Town is on track with plans to protect residents from the first four stages of Eskom’s loadshedding within three years:
The three-phase procurement for loadshedding protection has reached several important milestones this month. The largest procurement – a 500MW tender to buy power on the open market – is on track to open before the end of March.
“Bidders in Phase 1 of the procurement – for 200MW of renewable energy – will this month receive Cost Estimate Letters for connecting to Cape Town’s grid. This will help bidders formulate their tariffs for selling power to the City. This follows the completion of a comprehensive grid integration study by the Centre for Scientific and Industrial Research on when and where these IPPs will feed power into Cape Town’s grid.
Finally, the third phase of procurement – a 500MW Dispatchable Energy tender – is on track to open on 29 March 2023.
