The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) has confirmed September 22 as the new bid submission deadline for Bid Window Six (BW6) of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme following its expansion from 2 600 MW to 5 200 MW.

Prior to the doubling of the size of the round as part of a package of interventions announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa on July 25, the BW6 closing date had been set as 17:00 on August 11.

Earlier, Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe announced that the deadline would be extended in the interest of “fairness”, after which the Independent Power Producer Office (IPPO) communicated the new date for prospective bidders.

No details have been provided as to the allocation between wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) since the doubling of the round, with the previous split having been for 1 600 MW of wind and 1 000 MW of solar PV.

It was not immediately clear what other changes might be made to accommodate the larger allocation.

However, the DMRE said further communication would be provided through the IPPO.
