The DoE said it plans to gazette the RFPs “early in this financial year”, after missing a deadline it set to finalise the process by 31 March.
“There is a consultation process with key stakeholders (Treasury and the IPP Office) that the DoE has undertaken before issuing the RFPs,” the DoE told Fin24 in a statement on Tuesday.
“This consultation process has not yet been concluded and the DoE will issue the RFP as soon as the process is concluded early in this financial year.”
