Project Description
The Energy Storage Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (ESIPPPP) Bid Window 1 is the first energy storage bidding round to be released in line with the Ministerial Determination of September 25, 2020.
EISPPPP aims to procure 513 MW, or at least 2 052 MWh, of battery storage across five substation sites.
Eskom has selected sites at:
- Aggeneis 77 MW, at a minimum installed energy rating of 308 MWh;
- Ferrum 103 MW, at a minimum installed energy rating of 412 MWh;
- Garona 153 MW, at a minimum installed energy rating of 612 MWh;
- Mookodi 77 MW, at a minimum installed energy rating of 308 MWh; and
- Nieuwehoop 103 MW, at a minimum installed energy rating of 412 MWh.
The sites aim to unlock renewables capacity in the grid-constrained province, but the storage projects selected are also required to offer ancillary services.
The ESIPPPP request for proposals was launched on March 7, 2023, and the bid submission date has been set for July 5, 2023.
Bids outside of these specified substation connection areas will not be considered.
