❓ How does City of Cape Town manage protect us from full load-shedding during peak usage times? 🌊⚡️ Ta-Da….. Steenbras Dam’s Hydro Electric Scheme (upper station) ... on the top of Sir Lowry's Pass...providing Hydroelectric Power since 1979. ⚡️⚡️🏭🌊This is an 180 MW pumped-storage hydroelectric power station which sits between the Steenbras Upper Dam and a small lower reservoir on the mountainside below. 🔋 It acts as an energy storage system, by storing water in the upper reservoir during off-peak hours and releasing that water to generate electricity during peak hours⚡️⚡️🏭 (that’s not Sat and Sun). ❓How can WE help…. 🎛️By switching off all non-essential electrical equipment to lower usage, and reduce the risk of tripping across communities. 🔌 Unplug inverters before power comes back on to avoid tripping and prolonged outages. and turn off geysers if possible. 💙 Thank you Cape Town for always flying the 🇿🇦 flag high! #ratesatwork #bestcity #playyourpart #cllrcaro
