South Africa’s Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme has opened the country to private renewable energy investment, with 39 gigawatts of capacity planned to be built by 2030.
Instead, all solar farms are operated by IPPs, who sell their electricity to Eskom as part of power-purchasing agreements. CSPs have numerous panels placed in a circle to direct heat energy from the sun to a central container with molten salt, which can boil water to generate steam and turn a turbine.South Africa’s largest solar farm is the Scatec Kenhardt Solar Power Complex Station in the Northern Cape, with a total capacity of 540MW.
The second largest PV facility in the country is Solar Capital’s De Aar Project in the Northern Cape, which has been providing electricity to South Africa’s grid since March 2024. In fourth place, there are four solar plants, each with a capacity of 100MW: XiNa Solar One and Kaxu are in Pofadder, Karoshoek Solar One is in Upington, and Kathu Solar Park is in Kathu.This is a common location for solar plants as 19 of the 25 biggest solar power plants, according to maximum output, in South Africa are located there.
