Eighteen parcels of land were previously made available, with the power utility garnering keen interest from several IPPS.
JOHANNESBURG - Eskom said it is working towards easing the country's power crisis - by making an additional 2000 hectares of land available for projects that will help ramp up generation capacity by the end of next month.A total of 18 parcels of land were previously made available, with the power utility garnering keen interest from several IPPS.
"These will be released in phases. We are currently targeting quarterly releases in order to allow for IPPS to get themselves in gear to make those bits, as and when they are due. We anticipate that this will rapidly accelerate the addition of more generation capacity to the grid, and we are quite pleased with this opportunity that has been identified."
