TNPA renewable-energy programme.

Location

Project Owner/s
Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA).

Project Description
The TNPA announced a request for information (RFI), on July 26, 2022, inviting private-sector participants to submit project proposals for the introduction of a renewable-energy programme, which can be implemented cumulatively at the ports of Port Elizabeth, Ngqura, East London, Mossel Bay, Saldanha, Cape Town, Durban and Richards Bay. The programme aims to procure 50 MW to 80 MW of renewable-energy power- generation capacity.

The TNPA has said that the responses to the RFI will help it gain a better understanding of the renewable-energy market, particularly for wind and solar, as well as the incorporation of other renewable-energy sources such as hybrids of hydroelectric power, ocean energy, biomass and geothermal.

RFI documents can be accessed from the National Treasury’s e-tender publication portal www.etender.gov.za and/or the Transnet website www.transnet.net.

Responses to the RFI must be submitted by no later than September 6, 2022, at 12h00.

The TNPA has said that after receiving and reviewing RFI responses it might release a request for proposals, provided that sufficient information is obtained from the RFI submissions.
