The DA has a plan to guarantee an uninterrupted supply of electricity at the lowest cost possible. Cape Town often keeps loadshedding one stage lower than the rest of SA, thanks to the hydro-electric power station at Steenbras dam.

ℹ️ www.keepthelightson.co.za

DA-run municipalities are taking 10 steps to ensure loadshedding free communities:

🏢 Purchasing electricity directly from independent power producers (IPPs) to protect residents and businesses from Eskom loadshedding.

💰 Paying Eskom on time for bulk supply, so that Eskom never cuts supply due to non-payment by the municipality.

⚡ Storing low-cost, off-peak energy to avoid load shedding and reduce costs.

💡 Maximising municipal energy efficiency to minimise costs to residents and businesses.

🏘️ Assisting residents and businesses to go off grid and sell their excess power to the grid.

🏨 Investing in infrastructure.

🏠 Supplying poor households with free basic electricity.

🔌 Addressing cable theft.

⚡ Connecting more households to the grid.

🏭 Rapid resolution of electricity faults for residents and businesses.
