The South African government has approved an application by the national public power company Eskom to purchase additional renewable electricity, and more renewable energy tenders
are expected to be issued this year.
Nearly three years after South Africa's energy minister announced plans to add 6.
3 GW of renewable energy in a new tender process, the government has granted Eskom Power a new "privilege" to procure electricity
.
According to media reports, South Africa's Ministry of Public Utilities has given Eskom the green light to purchase additional renewable energy
.
Eskom Power has claimed that the lack of adequate transmission infrastructure has forced it to restrict electricity purchases
from renewable energy projects.
Eskom refused to sign power purchase agreements
with projects that had already been auctioned, allocated and ready for service.
In 2016, Eskom refused to sign a power purchase agreement
with SolarReserve's 100-megawatt concentrated solar thermal plant.
Under a bidding auction under the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Scheme (REIPPPP), the project has been allocated to the developer
.
The South African Wind Energy Association said the fate of renewable energy projects and uncertainty about the future of REIPPPP were hampering nearly $4.
7 billion in investment and creating 15,000 jobs
.
The South African Renewable Energy Commission has even threatened to file a lawsuit
against Eskom's preference for nuclear power over renewables.
The African Development Bank has provided a $1.
34 billion loan to Eskom to strengthen and expand transmission system infrastructure
.
Three years ago, after the initial four rounds of auctions were hugely successful, Energy Minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson announced that she would be in contact with the National Energy Regulatory Agency (NERSA) to make arrangements to provide an additional 6.
3 GW of electricity
in future auctions.
