Eskom has finally put out a request for proposal to supply Gourikwa power plant in Mosselbay and Ankerlig power station in Atlantis with natural gas. | News24_Business

Eskom is seeking"holistic" solutions from suppliers – meaning they will have to create the infrastructure to transport the gas to the two power plants and supply the gas itself.

They will also be responsible for storing the gas and converting it from liquified natural gas back to gas. The gas supply contracts will last for either five or 10 years. Power crisis: Progress is 'limited but significant' says Ramokgopa after load shedding reprieve Eskom hasn’t yet said how it expects the gas to be transported to the two sites. The RFP is just the first stage of a two-step process the utility will use to choose a gas supplier.

It will use feedback from the RFP to help craft the technical specifications for the project. These will then be included in its request for quotation, which will likely be published later this year.
