# City of Cape Town’s new gas-to-energy plant will generate enough electricity to power four-thousand-300 households, by converting landfill gas to power at the Coastal Park Landfill.

Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis says these initiatives are set to pay for themselves in time thanks to reduced bulk electricity purchases from Eskom and the sale of carbon credits:
