Energy Consultancy ABL Group to Assess 2 GW RE in South Africa
- ABL claimed that about 1.5 GW of the energy yield assessment job is associated with nine potential solar PV developments in South Africa.
- The continuing to be 500 MW is for 2 prospective onshore wind farms.
ABL Group- an energy and also aquatic consultancy-- has actually claimed that it been acquired by various designers to offer energy return assessment for greater than 2 GW of potential solar as well as wind power plants in South Africa.
ABL stated that regarding 1.5 GW of the energy return assessment work is connected to nine prospective solar PV developments in South Africa. The remaining 500 MW is for 2 possible onshore wind farms.
The names of the projects or customers are yet to be revealed by ABL. The group is headquartered in Cape Town as well as has existence in the Saldanha Bay Industrial Development Zone (SBIDZ).
Anne Myers, Country Manager-- South Africa, ABL stated, "South Africa has a leading role to play in the bigger continent's energy transition. It is 2nd only to Morocco in Africa in terms of its energy change commitments and technical capacity."
ABL held that the energy return evaluation solutions are being given as part of technical due diligence into the proposed sites, to be submitted to the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP). The Programme is a state-led campaign to increase power generation from renewable energy sources including solar, onshore wind, tiny hydro, along with garbage dump gas, biomass and also biogas. If the bids achieve success, they will proceed to monetary close, complied with by the building phase.
Oliver Davies, ABL Group's head of onshore wind, added, "The REIPPPP has efficiently presented several GWs of energy scale renewable energy across the country, yet several hold-ups as well as obstacles have delayed the realisation of projects as well as developed significant market uncertainty. We are extremely delighted to be collaborating with countless IPPs on their submissions right into Quote Home window 6 of the REIPPPP."
ABL's onshore renewable energy professionals function closely with its sibling company called OWC for using energy yield analysis as well as source modelling for onshore as well as overseas wind energy, plus repaired and also drifting solar PV. ABL claimed that the outcomes of this solution feed straight right into more accurately forecasting a site's success, supplying assurance as well as very early risk mitigation to financial and various other project stakeholders. ABL and also OWC are both part of Oslo-listed energy consultancy group ABL Group ASA.
