Information document with regards to SSEG in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality (Draft)

The Johannesburg landfill gas to energy project, initially conceived as a carbon reduction project, aims to mitigate greenhouse gases from five landfill sites in Johannesburg, through converting its landfill gas to electricity. The five sites have a combined potential capacity of 18.6 MW of electricity, and the project will be by far the largest municipal-driven renewable energy development in South Africa to date.

This report investigates the potential for municipalities to play a more pro-active role in rolling out distributed energy to address electricity constraints and generate income. This is done through an analysis of three municipal buildings to determine their suitability for rooftop PV followed by a pre-feasibility report (both technical and financial) in respect of the optimal building selected. (WWF, 2015)

This report sets out the case for investment in concentrated solar power (CSP) in SA, followed by lessons learnt in CSP procurement under the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers Procurement Programme, and ends off with the provision of a partnership-linked procurement-driven future strategy.

This project is about the Leeupan solar PV project developed as a demostration project by Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality. (GIZ, SALGA & SEA, 2015)

This document outlines the experiences and lessons learnt with regards to small-scale embedded generation within Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality. It covers costs and financing, barriers to implementation, suggestions for a way forward, and important aspects that other municipalities need to consider before allowing SSEG. (ICLEI, 2015)
