A letter from the Independent Power Producer (IPP) Office to the Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) providing an update on the Coal Baseload Independent Power Producers Procurement Programme, specifically regarding bid validity extensions for the Thabametsi and Khanyisa projects.

• The IPP Office has extended the bid validity for the Thabametsi and Khanyisa projects until 2 November 2019 and 3 November 2019, respectively.
• The timelines for Commercial and Financial close for the two Preferred Bidders are dependent on the readiness of the Preferred Bidders and the Government, in accordance with Project Development Plans.
• The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) asserts that the Thabametsi and Khanyisa projects cannot reach commercial and financial close due to outstanding licenses and pending legal challenges. For Khanyisa, the Environmental Authorisation is under judicial review at the Pretoria High Court, the Water Use Licence is under appeal before the Water Tribunal, and the Provisional Atmospheric Emission Licence is under appeal before the Nkangala District Municipality’s appeal authority. For Thabametsi, the Environmental Authorisation is under judicial review at the Pretoria High Court, while its Water Use Licence, electricity generation licence, and AEL applications remain undecided.
• The IPP Office stated that confirmation regarding further rounds of the Coal Programme will be provided once the IRP 2018 is finalised.
