The City of Cape Town today announced its imminent plans to sell Green Electricity Certificates, which will give Capetonians the opportunity to buy green electricity from the city.

Alderman Clive Justus, Mayoral Committee Member for Utility Services and various partners of the Darling Wind Farm project briefed the media on this historic first step to ‘green’ Cape Town’s energy usage. The energy will be generated from the Darling Wind Farm.

“It is particularly significant that the sale of the Green Energy Certificates is taking place in the same week as the WWF’s International Earth Hour on 27th March,” said Alderman Justus. Lights in prominent places across the globe will be switched off for one hour on the Saturday evening at 20h00 as a mark of acknowledgement that energy efficiency must become the new way of life.
