Focus area
1 Act for energy transition
Cape Town is entering the winter season against a backdrop of an unprecedented energy crisis. You have to imagine living without electricity to understand their daily lives. The whole city goes dark several hours a day, traffic lights are out of order, street lamps are out, payment terminals are unusable, stores are plunged into darkness.
The whole economy slows down, and it's the residents who suffer every day. Our audiovisual production team travelled to Cape Town ahead of the Energy Observer's stopover to gain a better understanding of the issues at stake and, above all, the possible solutions, which would use a more sustainable energy mix.

All over the world, women and men are devoting their time and energy to the creation of sustainable solutions for a more harmonious world. Energy Observer is heading off in search of them in a bid to promote their ideas and actions.
