78 MW Bokamoso solar park begins commercial operations

Another large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) project procured under the fourth bid window of South Africa’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) has entered into commercial operation. The fourth bid window eventually closed in 2018, following a four-year delay, precipitated by Eskom’s then refusal to enter into new power purchase agreements with projects procured by government under the REIPPPP.
