GEORGE NEWS - George Municipality's Electrotechnical Department has been nominated as one of the top five green sustainability initiatives with its electricity wheeling project.
The municipality warmly congratulates Overstrand Municipality, the winner of the Green Economy Change Champions Event for 2022.
The event is hosted by GreenCape and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF).
"Our wheeling project remains a pioneering first step for George towards a competitive energy market," said Daniel Greeff, deputy director of planning and design for Electrotechnical Services.
"Looking into the future, this may lead to an energy model where different energy generators supply power to the end-users making use of the existing municipal infrastructure.
"This will also provide an opportunity for more renewable energy sources to be introduced to the municipal grid. The result would be a reduction of dependency on carbon-based fuels as well as relieving the burden on Eskom to generate."
