​The City of Johannesburg Conducts a feasibility study on potential acquisition of Kelvin Power Station and Egoli Gas as part of long-term energy security strategy​

The Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Environment and Infrastructure Services, Cllr Jack Sekwaila, wishes to inform residents of the City of Johannesburg that the City, through its municipalowned entity City Power, has undertaken a feasibility study to assess the viability of acquiring Kelvin Power Station and Egoli Gas as part of a broader strategy to strengthen energy security, diversify supply sources, and reduce the City’s long-term reliance on Eskom. At this stage, discussions remain at an early and exploratory phase, and neither Kelvin Power Station nor Egoli Gas has been formally engaged regarding any potential acquisition. The feasibility study is intended to inform decisionmaking and does not constitute a decision to acquire. It is also important to note that both Kelvin Power Station and Egoli Gas historically formed part of the City’s broader energy ecosystem, and their consideration represents a possible reintegration rather than an entirely new concept.
