• Energy investment horizon
SOCIO-ECONOMIC SITUATION
• Cacadu District Municipality has a population within the range of
390,000 (Census, 2001) - 413,000 (Global Insight, 2008).
• Population concentrations are in Makana, Kouga and Ndlambe,
with more than 50% of residents in the District residing in these
Municipalities. The remaining Municipalities all have less than
50,000 inhabitants per Municipality.
• It is important to note that the low population densities do not
lessen the demand for social infrastructure establishment and
maintenance.
KEY DRIVERS OF ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT 1. Water availability and price and climate patterns
2. Availability, organisation and price of electricity – scale of
energy investments in region (wind, gas, nuclear)
3. Urbanisation and demographic trend
4. Cost of transportation in region
5. Demand and price of agro-products
6. Growth in potential number and spend of tourists/visitors
7. Agricultural support and rural development policy architecture
8. Development and uptake of new technologies and innovations
in agriculture and agro-processing
9. Level of social cohesion and trust in region
10. Quality of public administration and service delivery
