The Government of South Africa has launched bidding rounds for 5,000 MW of new power generation capacity from renewable sources and 615 MW of battery storage, as the country fights to overcome power outages.

The country is also seeking 2,000 MW of capacity from natural gas-fired plants, in line with previously disclosed plans to speed-up development of gas-fired capacity. A statement from the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy said three requests for proposals (RFPs) had been invited from independent power producers (IPPs) for the aforementioned capacities.

The bid window targets the development of 3,200 MW of wind and 1,800 of solar PV power.

South Africa’s new auction is the first to be held under a December 2022 government plan to procure 14,771 MW of new generating capacity.
