Sustainable Energy

This programme focuses mainly on the effective, appropriate and well planned acquisition of land for communities and their projects and includes all associated feasibility and planning work. It is noted that land acquisition for development projects in South Africa is typically a lengthy, resource intensive and technically challenging process requiring special expertise. Initially PPT’s involvement was in respect of preparing housing and infrastructure projects, but given the ongoing broader challenges with land reform in South Africa, PPT is now in the process of expanding its role to also include rural land reform, agrarian reform and land restitution projects and is actively seeking donor funding in this regard.

Pilot Home Energy Pilots at Dududu & Welbedacht

PPT was involved in a pilot project in 2005 which focused on the two areas of Dududu (Vulamehlo) and Welbedacht (eThekwini) which are both not connected to an electricity supply grid. Engagement with communities and municipalities was essential prior to the introduction of the project concept in order to determine the relevance of various alternative technologies. A range of alternative energy products were offered to residents on a part grant subsidy, part owner contribution (approximately 60% grant and 40% own contribution). Click here to read more.
