6 FAQs about [Cape Town Energy Storage System Grid Connection Standards]

Can SseG be connected to the electricity grid in Cape Town?

Consumers residing in Cape Town, but located in Eskom’s area of supply, need to apply to Eskom for consent to connect SSEG to the electrical grid. Generators that are not connected to the electricity grid in any way, and are thus ‘stand-alone’ generators, do not need permission from the City’s ESD.

What are the requirements for small-scale embedded generation systems in Cape Town?

City of Cape Town small-scale embedded generation requirements: As of October 2023, residents and businesses seeking to install small-scale embedded generation systems must comply with specific requirements, including initiating a prior approval application, registration of inverters, and submission of compliance certificates.

Who is responsible for electricity distribution in Cape Town?

The electricity distribution service provider responsible for the electricity grid infrastructure to which the consumer is connected. (Both the City of Cape Town and Eskom, are responsible for portions of the electricity network within the City of Cape Town’s metropolitan boundary.)
