Network, Knowledge & Solutions For Every Municipal Leader

New technologies, regulations and business models now mean Municipalities are facing unprecedented disruption in their electricity revenue models. The Municipal Leader Forum has been specifically developed to allow the leaders responsible in this crucial local government space to expand their skill set, equip them to be proactive rather than reactive and take advantage of the incredible opportunities created by this disruption.

What is the Municipal Forum?

The Municipal Forum (part of Enlit Africa, previously African Utility Week and POWERGEN Africa), discusses real challenges affecting municipalities from a power and energy perspective.

The forum highlights the general state of municipalities in South Africa and discusses complex, wide ranging challenges, from financial constraints, inadequate revenue collection, poor infrastructure maintenance, corruption and governance failures. These factors contribute to service delivery backlogs, unreliable electricity supply, insufficient water and sanitation infrastructure and limited resources for essential services.
