City of Cape Town SSEG Feed-in Tariff
Administered by City of Cape Town
About this program
The City of Cape Town offers a NERSA-approved feed-in tariff for SSEG solar installations, paying residential customers approximately R0.79/kWh and non-residential customers R0.74/kWh for surplus energy exported to the municipal grid. An additional temporary incentive of 25 c/kWh was available for both residential and non-residential customers.
