| Work Detail |
In his 2023/24 Budget Vote, the Western Cape Minister of Infrastructure in South Africa, Tertuis Simmers, allocated R24 million (nearly $1.3 million) towards addressing the current energy crisis, earmarked for the installation of 976 solar geysers across various human settlement projects.
As part of this initiative, 53 households of beneficiaries living with disabilities will be fitted with solar panel geysers at the Vlakkeland project.
The installation of the 53 solar geysers at Vlakkeland is on track to be completed by the end of 2023.
Solar geysers for energy access
The installation promises a substantial improvement in the well-being and dignity of the beneficiaries, while at the same time advancing the Western Capes commitment to environmental responsibility.
Projects in this pilot energy mitigation initiative include Metro Grounds in George and Railton in Swellendam. Upon the successful completion of these projects, a total 976 indigent households will benefit from improved energy access. |
