ECONOMIC BENEFIT

- 

Xaba stated that preliminary modelling indicates savings of approximately R5 billion throughout the Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), translating to around R250 million in annual savings.

“These are savings we can redirect to the upgrading of infrastructure for basic services that will directly benefit our residents,” he said.

Xaba explained that this programme is catalytic as it is projected to unlock R8.5bn in private investment and boost regional industrial activity. He said it will also create an estimated 2,200 jobs during construction and operation phases.
