LOCAL POWER

There is no quick fix to South Africa’s electricity crisis, with Eskom confirming last month that, despite its plant recovery efforts and various other interventions, citizens should brace themselves for at least two more years of loadshedding. Amid the gloom, some large cities are taking action, however, with the City of Cape Town moving to buy power from companies and households with rooftop systems. Many other cities and municipalities, including Johannesburg (pictured), are developing their own solutions to mitigate ongoing power cuts and the devastating economic and social impacts thereof.
