Project agreements for three BW5 wind projects to be signed this week

A signing ceremony will be held on Thursday for three wind projects that were selected in October last year as preferred bidders under Bid Window Five (BW5) of South Africa’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP). In total, 25 wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) projects were named as preferred bidders by Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe following a bidding process that was launched in April last year.
