Vision and Strategy for Change in the Western Cape

OUR GOAL

To ensure energy security that supports economic growth in the Western Cape,
incorporating diverse and low carbon sources of energy by 2020.

Levers of Change and Related Key Performance Indicators
Our Key Performance Indicator for the accomplishment of our goal is a 10% reduction
in demand from Eskom. This can be achieved through five levers to change the energy
demand patterns in the Western Cape. The end result will be more alternative energy,
for example, Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic (PV) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG); and more
efficient management of energy usage by government, businesses and households.

The five levers are shown in Figure 5 below:

Each lever has specific outcomes and targets leading up to 2020, all developed through
a rigorous stakeholder engagement process.

These are outlined below:
• Enhanced uptake of Rooftop PV: increase the installed capacity of rooftop PV to
Western Cape electricity supply to 135 MW (equivalent to the capacity of four wind
farms based in the Western Cape) by 2020.
• Enhanced uptake of Efficient Water Heating (EWH), including Solar Water Heaters
(SWH): increase the installed SWH and heat pump units to 155 000 by 2020.
• Reduced energy consumption in both public and private buildings: 30% reduction
in energy consumption in provincial government buildings by 2020.
• Enhanced load management: optimally manage the electricity grid in order to
reduce peak demand and minimise the likelihood and impact of load shedding.
• More electricity generated through wind, solar and natural gas: increased diversity
of electricity supply through Independent Power Producers (IPPs) by 2020.
