District Energy Council in Upington the first in national pilot programme

The Department of Electricity and Energy (DEE) has launched a District Energy Council (DEC) in Upington, in the Northern Cape, that includes representatives from the DEE, State-owned utility Eskom, district and local municipalities, agriculture and business sectors and civil society. The DEC aims to close the gap between Eskom and municipalities, strengthen collaboration between the DEE and municipalities, incorporate large energy offtakers such as agriculture and business, and broader society, and ensure energy-related matters remain front and centre across each local municipality within a district.
