The South African government's Independent Power Producer (IPP) Office will release a request for information (RFI) in March for possible domestic gas-to-power projects, as a precursor to a possible 3 000 MW tender that should arise before year-end.
IPP Office head Karen Breytenbach indicated on Friday that the RFI would be used to inform a future request for proposals (RFP), which could be released into the market during the third quarter of the year.
The IPP Office had already released an RFP for the procurement of 1 600 MW of coal baseload capacity from private developers and had been engaging with companies that had purchased the documentation for R200 000. That engagement was likely to change aspects of the tender, possibly even the 1 600 MW cap, which was well below the 2 500 MW allocation outlined in a 2012 Ministerial determination.
