South Africa adds $1bn solar-battery project portfolio to RMIPPPP preferred bidder list

The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) has announced the appointment of three additional preferred bidder projects under the 2 000-MW Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (RMIPPPP), following the completion of “value for money negotiations” with Norwegian renewables power producer Scatec. On March 18, Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe named eight preferred bidders following a bidding round that sought solutions that could supply dispatchable power from 5:00 in the morning to 21:30 at night for a 20-year period.
