DNG Power alleges corruption in the awarding of 11 supply contracts to Turkish-owned company but says it needs more time to gather evidence
The high court in Pretoria on Thursday granted DNG Power a postponement for the hearing of their application to stop the award of energy contracts to Turkish-owned company Karpowership SA.
The RMIPPPP was first mooted by government in December 2019 but has faced numerous delays. The objective of the programme was to urgently plug SA’s electricity supply gap and awarded contracts to 11 bidders to supply 2,000MW. Most of the contracts — 1,200MW — went to Karpowership SA. DNG, which initially contended that the matter was urgent, is to pay the wasted costs of the postponement application, said Raulinga.
