The City of Johannesburg wants to buy the privately owned Kelvin Power Station and Egoli Gas to mitigate the city’s heavy reliance on Eskom, mainly because Eskom tariffs are much higher than those of Kelvin’s. The purchase is subject to a feasibility study that will guide the city on whether the investment is worthwhile.
