Government taking too long to wrap up power projects – Ramokgopa

Electricity Minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa says he “laments” the time it takes for government to go from issuing requests for proposals (RFPs) to announcing preferred bidder status and reaching financial close when it comes to renewable energy power projects. “Our going out for RFPs and preferred bidder status is really the domain of the State, and the State takes an inordinate amount of time.”
