Electricity supply crisis photovoltaic industry will have great development in South Africa

Solar photovoltaic (pv) net news: South Africa in most of the annual average sunshine hours 2500 hours, average solar radiation in the 4 a day. 5 - 6. Between 5 kWh/m2, it can be said that South Africa has good natural conditions for the development of photovoltaic (pv). According to energy department data released in January, South Africa South Africa photovoltaic cumulative installed at about 2. 372千瓦。

according to bloomberg news, South Africa's electricity supply crisis is around the corner, by contrast, intermittent power outages in the past few months seems to be insignificant. South Africa's national electric power company Eskom almost to provide electricity for the whole country, due to close coal-fired power plants, due to the company in the next 10 years will be reduced by more than a quarter of power.

the South African government estimates that want to restore the exit capacity and meet the growing demand, will take years, the cost will be estimated at more than 1 trillion rand ( $71 billion) 。 As more and more power plants due to retire, this problem will deteriorate dramatically after 2030.

although Eskom is building two new power stations, but progress has been lagging for several years, but also billions of rand, beyond the budget is not enough to fill the supply gap.

Eskom on other new project investment space is limited, because it does not earn enough money to pay for operating costs and debt repayment. At the end of the last fiscal year, the company's debt has reached 419 billion rand.

the South African government has said it will seek to private investors to provide funds for the new plant, and purchase the amount of renewable energy from independent power producers. Since 2011, independent power producers for grid increased by 3. 876 gw of installed.

Africa, local media reported the recent bloomberg also verified the above information, at a recent DLO Africa power roundtable meeting, said the South African government is working to speed up the power the way to the new project, to alleviate the power shortage.

according to people who have attended the participants discussed the policy progress, Eskom innovation power solutions, including the mix of photovoltaic (pv) combined with energy storage system, to overcome the power shortage.

South Africa department of energy (doe) at the meeting confirmed that Eskom itself could not provide a comprehensive energy planning (2030 IRP) The power generation, transmission and distribution investment required. The participation of private companies is essential, therefore, the department is committed to do our best to eliminate obstacles.

from South Africa, a spokesman for the national electric power company has also carried on the response, will open to the private sector to help, and invited the related party to provide suggestion or proposal, to help reduce its constraints.

in the past few years, many power users to install the distributed generation projects, to offset the rising prices. Now also urgently need these measures to offset the cost of expenditure and safeguard the stability of the power supply.

from 2019 to 2030, is expected in the IRP for distributed generation's annual allocations may increase to 500 mw/year.

South African development bank plans to finalise the IRP, renewable energy projects for independent power producers office outside the project launched a $200 million fund of distributed generation.

and independent power producers in South Africa office, said in the IRP finalized shortly after it will release a report on accelerate the bid proposal of renewable energy. To speed up means the qualification of the tender will be looser than before, the purpose is to achieve faster assessment process.

in addition, it is worth mentioning that, according to the news of the brics bank website, the brics with the South African development bank signed on April 1, a total of $300 million no sovereign guarantee loans, aims to promote South Africa to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and renewable energy industry development. The financing will be used in South Africa development bank designated by the wind power, photovoltaic, biomass energy and other renewable energy projects.

the same day, the brics bank also with South Africa's national electric power company ( Eskom） Signed a 1. $800 million sovereign guarantee loan agreement for Eskom renewable energy transmission and distribution in the next 15 years construction project.
