Western Cape to discuss possible electricity solutionsFormer Head of Eskom in the Western Cape, Alwie Lester, also gave his input on how the province is approaching the energy crisis.
“So, our plan goes to 2035 and we say by 2035 we should see about 5700 megawatts of own generation outside of the Eskom system, but these will ramp up over the next three to five years. So, we have a target for 750 mw by 2025, then 1500 mw by 2030 and 5700 by 2035,” says Lester. “That is serving us quite a lot in terms of our electricity consumption in our own properties, our own buildings. So, we’ve done a 45 KW power plant at De Hoek resort with storage of 160 KW power and that project has reduced our consumption from the grid by 90 percent,” says head of projects and properties in the Garden Route District Municipality, Passmore Dongi.
In cooperation with the local communities and farmers, they have been able to establish solar farms at Frankfort and Tweeling.
