The City of Cape Town has launched an online Energy Services Platform. The platform will help make it easier to authorize solar PV applications.
The
city has authorized over five-thousand solar PV applications since 2021. The
new online portal is expected to decrease authorization timeframes.
City
of Cape Town Mayor, Geordin Hill-Lewis, launched the online portal at an event
with solar industry stakeholders Wednesday. He says the city will remove
obstacles to solar power investments.
“We pledge to remove obstacles
to solar power investments and to make more of our services digitally available,
and this exactly what we done with this new online portal. We want to incentivize
as wide spread investment in solar power as possible in Cape Town so that we
can end loadshedding in our city overtime. We also want to buy as excess solar
power from residences and businesses as possible via our cash for power programme
where Capetonians can earn municipal bill credits for the power they sent back
to us.” Said City of Cape Town Mayor, Geordin Hill- Lewis.
