The City of Johannesburg, through its municipal-owned entity City Power, is assessing the viability of buying the Kelvin Power Station and Egoli gas as a way to reduce its reliance on Eskom.
Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Environment and Infrastructure Services, Jack Sekwaila, announced the launch of a feasibility study to assess the viability of the move.
“At this stage, discussions remain at an early and exploratory phase, and neither Kelvin Power Station nor Egoli Gas has been formally engaged regarding any potential acquisition,” he said.
Importantly, the city noted that the feasibility study is intended to inform decision-making and does not constitute a decision to acquire.
