SA to rely on wind and solar for renewable energy target

Business Day reported, citing documents inviting bids from companies to supply power to the country, that South Africa plans to rely on wind and solar power to meet its renewable energy targets.


Of the 3,725 MWs South Africa wants to source from renewable energy it expects 1,850 MWs to come from wind power, 1,450 MWs from photovoltaic solar plants and 200 MWs from concentrated solar plants. The country also expects to get 75 MWs from small hydropower plants, 25 MWs from landfill gas and 12.5 MWs each from biomass and biogas.


In addition the government has allocated another 100 MWs for small scale projects, generating less than 5 MWs each, using the technologies.
