Electricity and Energy Minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa says 4 600 MW of battery energy storage systems (BESS) and 5 000 MW of gas-to-power (GtP) have been prioritised in a new Ministerial determination that opens the way for new public-procurement bidding rounds. He has also confirmed that the procurement processes facilitated by the determination will be implemented by the Independent Power Producer Office (IPPO) and be open to all market participants, including Eskom.
