A government notice from the South African Department of Mineral Resources and Energy determining the procurement of 2000 MW of new generation capacity from independent power producers to ensure energy security between 2019 and 2022.

• The Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy has determined that 2000 megawatts (MW) of new generation capacity must be procured from various energy source technologies to support energy security. This procurement aligns with the short-term risk mitigation capacity listed as "Others" for the 2019 to 2022 period in Table 5 of the Integrated Resource Plan for Electricity 2019 - 2030 (IRP 2019).
• The procurement programme for the new generation capacity targets connection to the Grid as soon as possible, with a final deadline of December 2021. While the timetable in Table 5 of the IRP 2019 is the target, deviations are allowed based on energy security risks, procurement efficiency, and construction timelines.
• The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy is designated as the procurer. Its responsibilities include conducting procurement programmes, preparing requests for proposals, negotiating power purchase agreements, and facilitating the conclusion of project agreements and conditions for financial close.
• The electricity must be sourced from independent power producers and must be purchased by Eskom Holdings SOC Limited. The procurement process must be conducted through tendering procedures that are competitive, cost-effective, fair, equitable, and transparent.
