The recently released details regarding the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) 2025 have been welcomed by the South African wind energy sector. The new IRP provided for 34 000 MW of onshore wind generation capacity by 2039. “I think the IRP is a great step forward,” affirmed local renewable energy company Seriti Green CEO Peter Venn. “Wind projects take nine years to pout on the grid and then 20 to 25 years to operate.”
