Other procurement plans not affected by RMIPPPP deadline delay to end Sept – DMRE

The deadline for projects selected as preferred bids under the Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (RMIPPPP) to reach commercial close has been extended to September 30, from an initial deadline of the end of July. However, the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) insists that the decision will not delay its other procurement programmes, which are either under way or scheduled for launch later this year.
