From "Comment on the City’s draft Budget for 2026-2027"
Go to the project
The highest cost driver is the Eskom price increase.
The city already has plans to procure 500MW from energy traders at lower costs than Eskom. See article at https://www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/cape-town-seeks-500-mw-from-energy-traders-at-below-eskom-rates-2026-04-01
Interested parties have until 13 May to respond to the tender. It is recommended that this initiative is implemented with a phased approach and some of the early phases are accelerated to deliver at least some benefits in the 2026/27 financial year.
