The Department of Energy (DOE) has implemented the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP). This is a tender process consisting of "Rounds" where the cheapest tariff and most competitive Economic Development score is awarded a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Eskom (the state-owned utility) as the Off-taker. The National Treasury has fully underwritten the PPAs.
Round 1 and Round 2 are mostly completed, Round 3 currently under construction And Round 4 awarded. In Round 1 and 2 there where 15 wind projects were awarded with 20 year PPAs and successfully reached financial close. Progress is ongoing on numerous projects.[1][2][3]
