Date: 19 May 2022

Location: Johannesburg, South Africa

Description: For many years coal has been the main energy source in South Africa accounting for 80% of the country’s energy mix. However, to contribute to the energy transition, South Africa adopted the Integrated Resource Plan to set the ambitious target of 20 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 which will benefit the nation not only by decarbonizing its economy but also addressing major issues of power shortage which are counterproductive for the industry and country’s development.

Breaking down the numbers, South Africa plans to allocate at least 6 GW of large scale solar by 2030, planning for 1 gigawatt of solar per year allowing for solar to supply about 10% to its energy mix. As South Africa’s energy availability factor (EAF) dips below the 60% mark, wind power will represent the major bulk of 16 GW of generation capacity by the end of the decade. As a solution for the critical need of extra generation capacity, the government raised the licensing threshold for embedded generation projects from 1 MW to 100 MW, opening the doors for IPPs to compete in the market.

Late in 2021, the results of the fifth round of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Program (REIPPPP) awarded 12 wind projects and 13 solar projects, totaling 1 GW of solar PV and 1.6 GW of wind giving positive signs that developers continue having interest in the South African energy market. It is also important to note that 39 wind and 63 solar projects competed in this round.

To reach its 2030 goals, South Africa will require an estimated $35.6 billion, which are expected to come mainly from the commercial sector to finance the projects. Tapping into the nation’s renewable power potential will be crucial to create greater energy security, reduce costs, and generate local socioeconomic benefits for South Africa.

Location: Dakar, Senegal

Description: Join Renpower Senegal 2022 – a powerful business development platform, enabling you to build brand awareness, forge new relationships, promote your technology, create new leads or source future investment.

Access to reliable, affordable and clean energy is crucial for the economic and social development in Senegal. The country’s electrification rate is about 69%, reflecting 93% in urban areas and nearly 50% in rural areas. The opportunity for private investment in solar, wind and biomass alongside government initiatives to prioritize green schemes has started to drive the way forward across the country. The government is now concentrating its efforts in remote and rural areas, relying on renewable energy providers. Achieving universal access to electricity will require decentralized solutions and more investments in diverse generation sources and distribution channels, including both grid connections and micro-grids.

The Agence Sénégalaise d’Electrification Rurale unlocks several rural electrification projects for medium-voltage grid extension, mini-grids and solar home systems. Promoting renewables and increasing the energy mix using natural gas (gas to power strategy), boosting energy efficiency and the development of off-grid rural electrification will ensure a smooth transition to full clean power in the country. New technologies and financing will be key drivers in that process.

Date: 28 April 2022

Location: Maputo, Mozambique

Description: Mozambique possesses a wide range and diverse energy potential, with renewable energy growing increasingly its share of the countries’ energy mix. Large hydro remains the dominant form of RE generation, and new projects are being launched, but solar, wind and biomass projects have been developed over the last few years and new projects are expected in the coming years through the PROLER program. The government is concentrating its efforts in remote rural areas, relying on renewable energy technology providers. Achieving universal electricity access by 2030, a goal set by the government, will require decentralized solutions and more investments in diverse generation sources and distribution channels, including both grid connections and micro-grids.
