The Oya Energy Hybrid dispatchable facility, which consists of colocated solar, wind and battery storage energy, will form a blueprint for the way in which South Africa’s energy grid will be able to operate on 100% renewable energy, says energy project developer G7 Renewable Energies MD Dr Killian Hagemann. G7 Renewable Energies is the lead developer in the Oya Energy Hybrid dispatchable facility, in the Komsberg Renewable Energy Development Zone in the Western Cape, which was awarded preferred bidder status in the Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (RMIPPPP) this year.
