Alan Winde; Western Cape Premier; stated that the project was intended for energy security.
“This project is not just ensuring energy resilience, which is much needed after the disastrous spate of power cuts; we are also taking a more responsible approach to power generation through renewable and affordable energy provision,” said Winde. “This renewable energy project will provide reliable power to the town’s residents, protect critical infrastructure, and support local businesses.”
Thus far, the solar project is expected to provide approximately 22,000 people with power, which includes the whole of Riversdale.
