EThekwini Clarifies Its Position On Alternative Energy
ETHEKWINI NEWSFLASH
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
21 SEPTEMBER 2022
In June 2021, eThekwini Municipal Council adopted the Energy Transition Policy for the eThekwini Municipal Area following a robust stakeholder engagement process. Most importantly, the key strategy documents that informed the development of the eThekwini Energy Transition Policy were also subjected to a similar rigorous stakeholder engagement process prior to the policy statements being adopted.
The Council adopted Energy Transition Policy does not have Nuclear Power anywhere in its implementation pipeline. Furthermore, one of the strategic documents referred to above, the Integrated Resource Plan makes it very clear that Nuclear Power is one energy source that eThekwini Municipality will not be considering for many reasons. This is the position of the Municipality on the matter of Nuclear Power.
