CAPE TOWN - Cape Town leaders have underscored that a solar plant being built outside Atlantis is aimed at driving down the price of electricity.
The R200-million project is set to be the first City-owned solar plant supplying renewable energy to the grid.
Officials have visited the site to inspect progress made since construction began in October last year.
Construction on the seven-to-ten megawatt Atlantis solar photovoltaic plant is taking shape.
A total of 2,400 solar panels are already in place.
The first power from this plant is expected to be delivered near the end of this year.
