Begrotings, munisipale sake en kragvoorsiening was net van die besprekingspunte op die jaarlikse provinsiale ledevergadering wat verlede week in Langebaan gehou is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verteenwoordigers van die Wes-Kaapse munisipaliteite het twee dae by Club Mykonos byeengekom danksy die Suid-Afrikaanse Vereniging vir Plaaslike Regering (Salga).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Krag en elektrisiteit was een van die besprekings met Eskom, die Wes-Kaapse regering, die Stad Kaapstad en die Bergrivier-munisipaliteit wat elkeen \u2019n spreekbeurt gekry het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kgopisho Mahunonyane het nie veel oor die huidige probleme by die kragverskaffer of beurtkrag uitgebrei nie, maar vertel van Eskom se planne van battery-stoorprojekte asook elektriese voertuie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shane Prins van die Stad Kaapstad het oor die verskeie ingrypings om inwoners in die metro se ligte ten spyte van beurtkrag aan te hou, gepraat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns voorsien nie in die kort termyn dat die tegniese verrigting by Eskom sal verbeter nie. Dit laat ons met die vraag \u2013 wat staan ons te doen?\u201d meen Prins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir die Stad Kaapstad beteken dit verskeie projekte om selfs meer elektrisiteit aan inwoners te verskaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit sluit onder meer in om meer elektrisiteit deur middel van die Steenbrasdam op te wek \u2013 veral in spitstye. Prins het verduidelik \u2019n prioriteit vir die Stad is om bedrywe en die kommersi\u00eble sektor so veel as moontlik teen kragonderbrekings te beskerm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van die projekte is die planne om \u2019n sonkrag-plaas in Atlantis te vestig. Na verwagting sal di\u00e9 plaas 10 MW kan opwek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prins het verduidelik bestendige elektrisiteit is nodig om werksgeleenthede te beskerm en ekonomiese groei te handhaaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Helen Davies van die Wes-Kaapse regering het op haar beurt vertel van die onderskeie kragverskaffingsprojekte waarmee hulle besig is. Deel hiervan is die regering se planne vir ses munisipaliteite \u2013 insluitend Saldanhabaai en Swartland \u2013 om uiteindelik hul eie krag op te wek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indien die vrae en kommentare van die vloer enige aanduidings was, wil talle munisipaliteite nie meer van die nasionale elektrisiteitsnetwerk afhanklik wees nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adv. Hanlie Linde, die munisipale bestuurder van die Bergrivier-munisipaliteit (BM), het verduidelik wat die impak van beurtkrag op di\u00e9 munisipaliteit is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie publiek is fed-up<\/i>. Die inwoners skakel reg deur die nag \u2013 hulle wil nie meer beurtkrag h\u00ea nie,\u201d het Linde ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het ges\u00ea die boodskap wat van Eskom kom, is dat dinge erger gaan raak voor dit beter raak, maar Linde s\u00ea niemand kan bekostig dat dit vererger nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het so baie van die afgelope drie jaar aan beplanning bestee \u2013 planne vir wat ons sal doen in \u2019n totale gebrek aan elektrisiteit. En aan die operasionele kant selfs [beplanning] net om ander dienste tydens fase 6-beurtkrag aan die gang te hou.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die verbintenis met die lewering van munisipale dienste kan nie onderskat word nie, het Linde verduidelik. Sonder elektrisiteit kan die munisipaliteit nie doeltreffend water verskaf nie en die riool-pompstasies moet op kragopwekkers loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDink net aan al die oortyd en die impak op tegniese spanlede \u2013 hulle werk aan niks anders nie. Tydens fase 6-beurtkrag sien hulle net om na die infrastruktuur en die kragopwekkers om riool uit die riviermonding te hou,\u201d het sy verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Bergrivier-monding is \u2019n beskermde vleiland-gebied. Die riviermondig word internasionaal as \u2019n belangrike omgewing geag en is vroe\u00ebr vanjaar \u2019n Ramsar-gebied verklaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Linde het verder verduidelik elektriese infrastruktuur moet nou daagliks twee of drie keer aan- en afgeskakel word, terwyl dit ontwerp is om slegs twee keer per jaar afgeskakel te word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie aan-en-afsit veroorsaak \u2019n verkorting van ons infrastruktuur se leeftyd, en wie gaan eendag daarvoor moet betaal?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tydens fase 6-beurtkrag, die hoogste fase wat tot dusver ingestel is, gebruik die Bergrivier-munisipaliteit 2 020 l<\/i> diesel per dag om die elektrisiteit aan te hou. Linde s\u00ea dit is R14,4 miljoen, waarvoor nie begroot is nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie BM is \u2019n redelik klein munisipaliteit in vergelyking met ander munisipaliteite hier. Ek wil nie eens dink aan wat die rekening vir \u2019n Stellenbosch-, Drakenstein-, George- of Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit moet wees nie,\u201d het sy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar voorstel aan Eskom was om verlaagde beurtkrag by munisipaliteite te h\u00ea wie se kragrekeninge op datum is. Sy meen vele munisipaliteite sal dan seker wees om hul agterstallige Eskom-rekeninge in te haal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plattelandse ontwikkeling, begroting vir nooddienste en infrastruktuur was van die ander besprekingspunte.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
