Summary
A letter from Eskom to the Centre for Environmental Rights stating that Eskom has not signed Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with Coal Baseload Independent Power Producers (IPPs) due to disagreements over terms and conditions, and that it is awaiting a value-for-money assessment from the Department of Energy.
Key insights
- Eskom has declined to sign Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with Coal Baseload Independent Power Producers (IPPs) because it disagrees with specific terms and conditions within the proposed agreements. Eskom noted that it has not yet been informed of the results of a public hearing held by Nersa on 27 March 2018 regarding generation licenses for these IPPs.
- Eskom has provided budget quotes to the two coal baseload IPPs, citing a legal obligation to do so concerning grid access and regulation under Eskom's distribution and transmission licenses and the Grid Code.
- Eskom has not received the "value-for-money assessment" required by regulation 9(1)(a) and 9(2)(a) of the New Generation Regulations from the Department of Energy, which serves as the designated procurer.
