Description
Description | The City of Tshwane, supported by the Tshwane Economic Development Agency, is leading South Africa's energy transition by enabling private-public partnerships, smart infrastructure, and distributed energy systems. Key initiatives include microgrid electrification in informal settlements, repurposing dormant power stations like Rooiwal and Pretoria West into energy hubs with hybrid technologies aiming to deliver 1,000 megawatts of alternative energy within three years, and smart infrastructure protection against vandalism and theft. The city also launched a Youth Innovation Challenge for 2025 to develop direct current off-grid electricity solutions for informal settlements, promoting renewable and sustainable energy. |
