Three BioTherm Energy projects selected during SA’s fourth renewables round
South African independent power producer BioTherm Energy has confirmed that three of its renewable-energy projects, with a combined capacity of 251 MW, were named as preferred bids during the fourth bid window under South Africa’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP).
The projects are the 120 MW Golden Valley wind farm, the 45 MW Aggeneys solar photovoltaic (PV) project and the 86 MW Konkoonsies II solar PV facility.
In total, 13 projects were selected as preferred bids during the Department of Energy’s (DoE’s) fourth competitive tender, including five wind projects, six solar PV plants, a biomass development and a mini-hydro project.
BioTherm Energy has already constructed, and is operating, 49 MW of wind and solar projects secured during the first REIPPPP bid window. In addition, it owns and operates a 4.2 MW waste-gas project at the PetroSA gas-to-liquids refinery in Mossel Bay.
“This 251 MW allocation by the DoE reflects our ability to compete directly with leading international players who have come to dominate the South African landscape,” BioTherm Energy CEO Jasandra Nyker said in a statement.
She added that the allocation cemented its position as a leading Africa-based renewable-energy developer, having recently also been named as a preferred bidder on four solar projects in Zambia and two solar projects in Burkina Faso.
