Wind bids fall well short of BW7 allocation, while PV bids far exceed provision

The Independent Power Producer Office (IPPO) has confirmed that 48 onshore wind and solar PV bids with a combined capacity of 10 218 MW have been submitted under Bid Window Seven (BW7) of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP). The bids were submitted ahead of the August 15 deadline, which was postponed from an initial date of April 30, largely owing to grid-access-related delays.
