New solar high mast lights contribute to safer communities Informal settlements that have not been electrified tend to be dark at night, making residents vulnerable to crime.
As part of the metro’s programme to make informal settlements habitable and restore human dignity by installing basic services, the metro has installed solar high masts lights at Tsietsi Phase 5, in Katlehong. The solar technology provides a low cost, low maintenance lighting to communities.
The metro’s spokesperson Themba Gadebe said Ekurhuleni experiences electricity grid overload in winter seasons due to illegal connections and meter bypass, resulting in outages in some areas.
Renewable energy such as solar provides an energy source to communities without adding further load to the electricity grid.
Residents are urged to protect this infrastructure as it is for their own benefit, and other communities are also in need of the same infrastructure, provided through limited government resources, said Gadebe.
