The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) aims to partner with a metropolitan council and a district municipality to compile pilot municipal energy master plans for electricity (MEMPs), which will provide the two councils with insight into the best electricity supply blends for their respective grids.
CSIR Energy Centre head Dr *Clinton Carter-Brown* tells *Engineering News Online* that recent changes to the electricity supply industry globally and domestically are making it increasingly attractive for South African municipalities to procure electricity from local energy sources.
