A step towards stability

This article titled "COGTA’s Emergency energy response plan: A step towards stability" discusses Gauteng's response to the prolonged electricity crisis. The Gauteng government, in collaboration with national and local energy experts, developed a comprehensive energy crisis response plan. Key initiatives include eliminating illegal power connections, installing smart meters in homes and businesses, improving revenue collection, maintaining an indigent register, and replacing damaged transformers. The plan also includes the installation of 3,351 smart meters and 45 solar high masts, and the refurbishment of two open-cycle gas turbines in Johannesburg, adding 100 megawatts to the grid. Additionally, a pilot microgrid project was launched in Alexandra Township to provide basic power needs for low-income households, with plans to expand to 13 more communities across Gauteng.
