South Africa’s Department of Mineral Resources and Energy formally invites interested parties to register prospective bids under the first bid window of the Gas Independent Power Producers Procurement Programme.
A total of 2000 megawatts (MW) will be procured in this first round from Projects supplying new generation Capacity, Ancillary Services and Energy Output to be produced from gas-fired power generation technology.
What a relief! The Department of Minerals and Energy has just released its plan for South Africa’s electricity supply until 2050. This is the Integrated Resource Plan 2023(IRP 2023), drawn up last year. The last such plan, IRP 2019, was nonsense, based on a fantasy world. This one is measured and sober, based on the real world. It gives one some hope for the awful state of our present electricity supply, but it does not deny the formidable problems ahead.
