The Western Cape aims to add as much as 750MW of supply by 2025 and to reach 5 700MW by 2035, Premier Alan Winde, a member of the DA, said in an interview at Bloomberg’s Cape Town office on Wednesday. That should be sufficient to meet demand as the provincial economy expands.
Winde met with Eskom’s former CEO Andre de Ruyter, shortly after he tendered his resignation in December, to seek advice over how the province should approach energy provision. Winde has put a team together to expedite larger generation projects, and intends on assisting municipalities to boost their power supply with a budget that will be announced in mid-March. The World Bank is providing an adviser, Karen Breytenbach, who previously led South Africa’s independent power producer office, to help shape the plans.
