The South African wind and solar industries fear a three-year renewables procurement gap proposed in a draft version of the governments Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) could seriously undermine supply chains already rattled by a policy-related market lockdown that was only lifted earlier this year. The issue risks taking the gloss off an IRP South Africas overarching 10-year roadmap for matching power supply and demand in 202030 whose headline figures look highly favourable for the renewable energy sector and were widely welcomed when the draft document was unveiled in August. The draft IRP foresees 8.1GW of additional wind power and 5.67GW of new solar PV in the next decade. By 2030 that would bring the two renewable sources to 11.44GW and 7.96GW respectively, and a projected 25% combined share of South Africas total power fleet by capacity. The draft IRP also kicked into touch South Africas new-build nuclear programme, marking a decisive break by newly appointed President Cyril Ramaphosa with the energy policy of his predecessor, Jacob Zuma. However, examination of the proposed timetable soon set alarm bells ringing over the Department of Energys suggestion that no procurement of renewables would take place in the three years covering 2022-24, with the additional wind and solar capacity taken forward only in the final five years of the decade. Commentators told Recharge the prospect of another halt to procurement is the last thing the South African wind and solar supply chains need. They are only just preparing to ramp back up again after the three-year stand-off with state utility Eskom that froze the market when it rechargenews.com Another selfinflicted wound in South Africa? South African President Cyril Ramaphosa refused to sign power-purchase agreements (PPAs) previously awarded under South Africas Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers Procurement Programme (REIPPPP). Eskoms intransigence seriously dented international investor confidence in the South African renewables programme until Ramaphosas newly appointed energy minister, Jeff Radebe, Nordex turbines in South Africa ended the impasse and swiftly ensured signing of the PPAs soon after the new government took power in early 2018. Radebes action unblocked about 2.2GW of mainly wind and solar projects and billions of dollars worth of investment. His subsequent announcement of a new 1.8GW REIPPPP procurement round scheduled for November appeared to confirm the good times were back for South African renewables. The South African Wind Energy Association (SAWEA) fears the procurement hiatus contained in the draft IRP means the sector would effectively run out of steam again, once the crop of projects commissioned under the current REIPPPP awards have worked their way through to commissioning over the next OFFICIAL SHOW DAILY Global Wind Summit 2018 Visit us at Stand 318, Hall B7 Visit us at Stand 318, Hall B7 Produced by RECHARGE rechargenews.com Poland to unveil 1GW renewables tender BERND RADOWITZ Photograph Bernd Radowitz P olands energy regulator is expected to announce details of a clos WINDENERGY 2014 RECHARGE OFFICIAL EVENT DAILY ProducedHAMBURG by RECHARGE rechargenews.com BERND RADOWITZ Siemens Gamesas offshore wind boss, Andreas Nauen Photography Siemens Gamesa A fter Taiwan, Japan will be the next big market for offshore wind power in Asia, with projects of at least WINDENERGY 2014 RECHARGE OFFICIAL EVENT DAILY ProducedHAMBURG by RECHARGE rechargenews.com ANDREW LEE A rgentinas renewables programme is well shielded to ride out the economic storm battering the country, claimed the governments renewable energy under-secretary.
