The South African Wind Energy Association (SAWEA) has expressed concern about the National Energy Regulator of South Africa’s (Nersa’s) decision to reject Eskom’s application to reserve grid capacity for the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP).
While the association acknowledges that there are regulatory complexities involved with preserving grid capacity for these projects, there are also implications of Nersa’s decision for the wind energy sector and the broader renewable energy landscape in South Africa.
