CLOCK IS TICKING

There is growing frustration at the lack of progress in initiating bidding processes for the procurement of new electricity generation. Despite the fact that the Cabinet-endorsed Integrated Resource Plan 2019 (IRP 2019) outlines an urgent need for between 2 000 MW and 3 000 MW to address a gap that has emerged as a result of a lower-than-anticipated energy availability factor from Eskom’s existing coal fleet and a derating of the Medupi and Kusile power station units relative to their original nameplates, nothing has happened since the IRP 2019 was gazetted on October 18.
