Pretoria - Implementation of renewable energy technologies in line with the government’s commitment to transition to a low carbon economy and ensure security of our energy supply is gaining momentum, with a big shift expected over the next 10 years.
Recently, the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy, Gwede Mantashe, announced the opening of a new bid window of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers Procurement Programme which will procure 1 600MW of wind and 1 000MW of solar capacity from Independent Power Producers.
The programme is a mechanism under which private developers bid for the rights to build new electricity generation projects and sell the electricity to Eskom.

Council powers up with renewable energy
Eurobodalla Council has signed a landmark 10-year agreement to source the bulk of its energy from renewables from July.
Electricity generated by solar farms at Parkes and Griffith, and from wind farms in the New England area due to come online in 2024, will supply 80 per cent of Council’s total electricity load for larger energy use sites, like the Moruya admin building, pools, libraries, water and sewer pump stations, treatment plants and our streetlights.
The move will reduce Council’s carbon emissions the equivalent to removing 1,000 cars from the road per annum and puts Council well on its way to achieve its target of sourcing 100 per cent of electricity from renewables by 2030.
By HEESU LEE AND WILL MATHIS | Bloomberg | Published: April 3, 2021 The fishing grounds where Jung Kuenbae and his forbears have caught shrimp, butterfish and croakers for three generations are going to be turned into the world s largest offshore wind farm. He s okay with that. I initially opposed the idea when the plan was proposed because it will destroy our livelihood, said Jung, who leads a group of local fishermen in some 200 ships that drop nets in the waters off the southwestern tip of the Korean peninsula. But I realized the project is part of the country s transition to cleaner energy, which is something we have to come to terms with, rather than fighting against it.
