Western Cape Premier, Alan Winde, says he will forge ahead in his bid for the province to be incentivised for reducing energy consumption. Winde was speaking during the province’s second weekly digital conference about the energy crisis.
It is aimed at updating the media and public on the plans and projects the province and its municipalities are putting in place to create energy security.
“Of course, governments can come in with plans like we did before with led lighting or other mechanisms to save power, but I argue at a national level and Eskom and the president to say if we, as the Western Cape commit – the citizens and the businesses – we are going to save power to mitigate load shedding levels. What’s in it for us? And that’s what I believe should be there. We have a baseline … we need an agreement to say can we share in the benefits of it.
While the budget for the Western Cape’s energy plan is expected to be tabled next week, municipalities are already working to reduce own consumption and planned alternative energy generation.
