The City of Cape Town\u2019s draft 2022\/23 budget for the Energy Directorate looks to building energy resilience for our growing city, reducing load-shedding over time and curbing the scourge of vandalism.<\/P>

\u2022\tAlmost R40 million earmarked to help curb and prevent vandalism<\/P>

\u2022\tSome R22,6 million in the new financial year (2022\/23) to set the wheels in motion for independent generation and procurement to end load-shedding over time<\/P>

\u2022\tR15 million set aside to pay for energy generated by small-scale embedded generators through the feed in tariff of 75,51 c\/kWh (excluding VAT) and the 25c\/kWh incentive offered for small-scale embedded generators.<\/P>

\u2018Our multi billion rand budget is very clearly being directed toward the City and Mayor\u2019s commitment to end load-shedding over time by bringing on board independent producers, self-generation and developing our small-scale embedded generation market. It is about diversity of supply to enhance the energy security of the people of Cape Town. We have also budgeted for a significant boost in our efforts to curb the scourge of vandalism of our energy infrastructure. This comprises some R40 million to secure infrastructure, deploy security patrols in hotspot areas and permanent security deployments at strategic infrastructure. We can change this picture of increasing vandalism and theft if we all work together as Team Cape Town. We call on our communities to stand by us and to work with us to help protect community infrastructure. We also offer rewards for information leading to the successful arrest or confiscation of stolen goods,\u2019 said the City\u2019s Mayoral Committee Member for Energy, Councillor Beverley van Reenen.<\/P>
