The IPP forum also featured Mark Tanton from the South African Wind Energy Association and Vuyo Ntoi from the South African Photovoltaic Industry Association. The panel discussed the solution offered by independent power producers, who are set to add 2 300MW to Eskom’s struggling grid. The panel also spoke about the new Integrated Resources Plan, recently adopted by cabinet. 27 new IPPs will come online in the next two years under Round 4 of the REIPPP. 2300MW will be enough power to avoid Stage 2 load shedding. H1 Holdings is a shareholder in 9 independent power projects, set to generate over 622MW.
