Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe released the names of the eight preferred bidders including three power ship projects selected as part of government’s 2 000-MW ‘emergency’ procurement programme and also launched the much-anticipated fifth bid window BW5 for the procurement of new wind and solar.

In December, South Africa's energy department issued a request for information RFI to source between 2 000 MW and 3 000 MW of power generation capacity that could be connected in the shortest time, at the least cost.
