# The City of Cape Town says it is almost finished building its first 200-million-rand solar photovoltaic plant in Atlantis. A total of 12-thousand-850 solar panels are planned to power the local grid by the end of this year. The Atlantis site will operate as a hybrid plant alongside the metro’s first utility-scale battery storage operation, totalling eight megawatts. Mayoral committee member for Energy, Xanthea Limberg, says this project has invested in upskilling local labour and creating business opportunities within the renewable energy sector.
