With Alderman Leon Van Wyk, Executive Mayor at George Municipality and Bongani Mandla
George Municipality expresses a positive view of the opening up of the electricity market. As the owner of the electricity distribution network in George Municipality, they see value in this asset as it becomes more critical for moving electricity between areas.
The private sector's involvement in generating electricity at the household level and selling excess back into the network will enable energy sharing and innovation.
George Municipality recognizes the challenges, such as load shedding and catering to different sectors' energy needs, but views it as an exciting time for new opportunities for entrepreneurs in the electricity sector.
