South African utility Eskom is seeking to procure 291 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity through multi-year power purchase agreements (PPAs). The utility has issued a Request for Proposals (RfP) for projects to be commissioned in phases, with submissions due by September 19 and a clarification meeting on September 2. Eligible projects must have a minimum capacity of 10 MW, and Eskom is considering PPAs for durations of five to 25 years.South Africa's solar capacity is a significant part of Africa's total, with the continent's operational solar capacity exceeding 20 GWp. In July, South Africa added six solar projects totaling 1,290 MW as preferred bidders in the seventh round of its Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP), which previously selected eight proposals for 1,760 MW of solar power capacity. How will Eskom's 291 MW solar procurement impact South Africa's renewable energy landscape? The procurement of 291 MW of solar capacity by Eskom will contribute to diversifying South Africa's energy mix, reducing reliance on coal and enhancing energy security. This initiative aligns with South Africa's Integrated Resource Plan, which aims to increase the share of renewable energy in the national grid. The addition of 291 MW will help South Africa move closer to its renewable energy targets and commitments under international climate agreements. The procurement will stimulate local economic development by creating jobs in the construction, operation, and maintenance of solar projects. It will encourage further investment in the renewable energy sector, potentially attracting both domestic and international investors. The phased commissioning of projects allows for a gradual integration of solar power into the grid, minimizing potential disruptions and ensuring grid stability. The long-term PPAs provide financial security for developers, encouraging more companies to participate in future renewable energy projects. This procurement could serve as a model for other African countries looking to expand their renewable energy capacity. By increasing solar capacity, Eskom can reduce its carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner environment. The initiative may lead to technological advancements and innovation in the solar industry within South Africa.
