<strong>Best</strong> <strong>Policy</strong> <strong>Practices</strong><br />
Timeframe: Implemented in August 2003<br />
Results achieved: 20% savings on the energy bill (or R3 200<br />
per month). This project has the potential to save up to<br />
130 000 kilowatts of electricity per annum (or R37 000) and<br />
140 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.<br />
Recent energy audits of other municipal buildings have<br />
indicated that by 2020, sustained implementation of such<br />
activities could amount to a financial saving of R14million and<br />
the reduction of 44 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide.<br />
Other municipal facilities such as the main municipal<br />
buildings are now being investigated for future energy efficiency<br />
interventions, as are the municipal fleet (approximately<br />
7 700 vehicles), bulk water supply facilities, wastewater treatment<br />
plants and the electricity distribution infrastructure.<br />
