Johannesburg - Gauteng is moving towards renewable energy to take pressure off the struggling national energy grid, the province's infrastructure development MEC Nandi Mayathula-Khoza said on Tuesday.
"Solar energy and energy for landfill gas are the most obvious short-term [projects] that we have embarked on... It will be implemented at provincial and municipal level," she said at the Africa Energy Indaba in Sandton.
Solar water heaters were being rolled out to municipalities and solar street and traffic lights were being introduced.
