Eskom has extended the rights for Karpowership to have access to its grid.
Eskom has extended the right of at least two companies to connect to South Africa’s power grid, keeping the struggling projects alive.
Mulilo, which is part of two groups that in 2021 won bids to provide a total of 395 megawatts, has also preserved its right to grid access.Both companies submitted bids in a so-called emergency power round that South Africa concluded in March 2021 as it struggled to ease power outages that have worsened since.
Delays have beset the emergency-power program. Karpowership has seen its plans frustrated by lawsuits and environmental challenges. A surge in construction costs globally has also complicated attempts by the bid winners to make financial arrangements.
