I did digging.

Which cities' #IPP plans put 'em in pole position?

1. Ekurhuleni & CPT
2. Ethekwini
3. Nelson Mandela Bay & Buffalo City
4. JHB
5. PTA
6. Mangaung

Please note: I asked one of SA's top energy experts, Stellenbosch University's prof. Sampson Mamphweli to check & corroborate all of my interviews & findings on the different metros. He gave me a thumbs up & said it's actually assisting him in his work! Great!

So, the cities...
Ekurhuleni:

*Aim: 25% #IPP power by 2030
*Awarded 46 small-scale IPP tenders - 31 (mostly solar PVs) are expected to come online by Christmas, claims Energy MMC Senzi Sibeko
*Signed wheeling energy deal
*Approved solar microgrid deal
*Old grid, tight budget!
