THE 2050 ENERGY STRATEGY FOR THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN

The energy system, both globally and locally, is rapidly evolving due to technological advancements, regulatory developments, and the impacts of climate change. These changes are influencing every aspect of the energy value chain, including how energy is generated, distributed, and consumed. The current energy system depends on a variety of fuel sources, with petrol, diesel, gas, and electricity being among the most commonly used. In response to these developments, there is a global transition towards electrification aimed at improving energy efficiency and supporting the decarbonisation of the energy sector. These factors are placing increased pressure on the electricity sector to proactively plan, adapt, and respond to the rapidly changing energy landscape.
