In order to alleviate the country's severe power crisis, the South African government has announced new plans to include the use of more renewable energy
sources such as solar and wind power.
Last Thursday, South Africa's Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy announced eight priority bidders for the government's risk mitigation plan that will enable independent electricity suppliers to supplement electricity
produced by Eskom, the only state-owned power company.
Eskom is in the midst of
a severe financial crisis.
Over the past decade, power companies have tried to increase power generation and improve the stability of power supply, but factors such as outdated equipment, poor infrastructure and poor financial conditions, combined with heavy reliance on coal and diesel, have led to insufficient power supply and increased power outages
.
As part of the contingency plan, Karpowership SA, a subsidiary of Turkish company Karadeniz, will dock three large ships powered by natural gas in the industrial hubs of Coega, Richards Bay and Saldanha
.
Karadeniz converted old cargo ships into floating electric ships to sail and dock
in areas where electricity is needed.
Electricity is generated by shipboard substations and fed directly into the country's grid system
.
"The solutions offered by these priority bidders come from a diverse portfolio
of technologies including solar, wind, LNG and battery storage," the Department of Energy said.
”
The projects are expected to inject R45 billion into the South African economy, with a construction period of 18 months and the creation of around 3,800 jobs, compared to 13,500 jobs during the 20-year period of operation
.
In addition, the South African Department of Energy has launched a tender process for 2,600 MW of renewable energy, with a deadline of August 4
.
The Ministry of Energy said that in the next 12 months, the government will also launch a tender program
for 3,000 MW of natural gas power generation, 1,500 MW of coal power generation and 513 MW of battery energy storage projects.
