| Work Detail |
The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy intends to launch a Risk Mitigation Power Purchase Programme to alleviate the current electricity supply constraints in the immediate to medium-term, as envisaged in the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP 2019), promulgated in October 2019. This Programme sits alongside other initiatives by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy to give effect to the IRP 2019. In order to inform the procurement programme design that may be appropriate, the Department invites responses from the market on innovative potential solutions to deliver power generation to the grid as expeditiously as possible. The Department would therefore welcome responses from existing projects, projects that are currently under development and new projects from all technologies which could be considered for procurement under a Risk Mitigation Power Purchase Procurement Programme. The objective of the Request for Information is to analyse options to procure between 2000 – 3000 MWs of power generation capacity that can be grid connected in the shortest time at the least possible cost.
