Department of Mineral Resources & Energy Bidders’ Conference in Respect of Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer (IPP) Procurement Programme
The Integrated Resource Plan (IRP 2019) and associated Ministerial Determinations guide the roll out of procurement under the Independent Power Producers Procurement Programme (IPPPP).
Following NERSA concurrence, the Ministerial Determination for 2 000 MW capacity, to be procured and installed between 2019 and 2022, was gazetted on 7 July 2020. Resultant from this was the release of the Request for Proposals under the Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme on 23 August 2020.
In support of this very important milestone in the IPPP Programme, and to engage with potential bidders and other energy sector stakeholders, the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE), and the Independent Power Producers Office (IPPO), will host a Bidders Conference on Friday, 25 September 2020. The conference will allow all stakeholders to engage with members of the DMRE and IPP Office on queries or clarification questions in relation to the released RFP.
