    According to South African Energy Minister Jeff Radebe, South Africa plans to launch a new round of bidding
    under its Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Program (REIPPPP) in November 2018.

    Radebe said the 1,800-megawatt tender round is expected to be launched
    this year.

    In fact, in 2015, South Africa's Department of Energy announced a tender for 1,800 MW of renewable energy capacity, but previous rounds of tenders were unsuccessful
    .

    In particular, the signing of a PPA agreement with state power company Eskom reached an impasse, which led to delays in the tender plan
    .

    In April, the South African government launched a total of 27 deferred renewable energy PPAs
    .

    The Department of Energy said the tender window must be restarted to provide opportunities
    for renewable energy development in South Africa.

    It is reported that this round of bidding plans to build 650 MW of onshore wind power, 520 MW of solar photovoltaic, 450 MW of concentrated solar energy, 100 MW of biomass energy, 15 MW of landfill waste gas, 40 MW of small hydropower, and 25 MW of biogas
    .

    "Promoting renewable energy development is beneficial to strengthening local manufacturing to ensure investment and economic growth, as well as opportunities to encourage black industrialists and opportunities to develop black independent power producers
    ," the minister said.
