Cape Town's Energy Strategy for 2050
Cape Town's 2050 Energy Strategy adopts a forward-looking perspective, outlining essential priorities and programs through a three-phased approach to instigate and propel transformative changes in the energy system gradually:
In the short term (by 2026), efforts will focus on enhancing capabilities to alleviate up to four stages of load-shedding.
In the medium term (by 2031), comprehensive reforms will be implemented to ensure the financial sustainability of the electricity utility, incorporating improved operational and asset management practices.
In the long term (by 2050), the goal is to revolutionize the energy system, striving towards carbon neutrality.
This Energy Strategy is in harmony with the Integrated Development Plan 2022-2027 and aligns seamlessly with other crucial City strategies. Read more on the strategy on the attached document.
