South African Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa proposed a "mega bid window" for the procurement of renewable energy to curb rolling blackouts, also as previous strategies to construct clean power generation have been delayed. Ramokgopa suggested getting a minimum of 15,000 megawatts of energy, along with various other actions that go beyond a seventh round of auctions for renewable-power supply that's currently intended. The proposal is evidence of the country's commitment to green power, the minister claimed at a solar-energy conference in Johannesburg on Tuesday, even as he pushes to prolong the life of coal-fired power plants.

The plans to add added renewable energy generation have also been interfered with by a lack of capacity on the grid. Ramokgopa's referrals to the ANC's National Executive Committee also asked for quickening the financial close of staying projects from Bid Window 5 as well as 6 of the renewable-energy program "and also to urgently wrap up" the release of more bid windows for solar, wind, battery storage and also gas by the end of May 2023, according to the discussion. Bid Window 7 ought to be released next month for 5,000 megawatts of solar and wind innovations where grid links are offered, the presentation revealed. Proposals for 1,200 megawatts of battery storage space and also 3,000 megawatts of gas will certainly also be asked for prior to June.
