South Africa’s plan to build new renewable power capacity is at risk after the regulator rejected a bid by generators to access the electricity grid, an industry association said.
The refusal may doom the so-called Bid Window 7 of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme, the South African Wind Energy Association said in a statement on Monday. A previous attempt to lure investors also failed, according to the association.
