Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa proposed a 'mega bid window' for the procurement of renewable energy to curb rolling blackouts, even as previous plans to build clean power generation have been delayed. | News24_Business

Dyason Klip 2 solar plant in Upington, which is part of Bid Window 4 of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme.Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa has proposed a"mega bid window" to procure renewable energy.

Ramokgopa recommended buying a minimum of 15 000 megawatts of energy, in addition to other measures that go beyond a seventh round of auctions for renewable-power supply that's already planned. The plan to acquire renewable energy was presented to the governing African National Congress's highest decision-making body over the weekend.
