Political dispute over - market for renewable energies is gaining momentum again
The signing of power purchase agreements between the state-owned energy supplier Eskom and several independent power producers (IPP) in April 2018 marked the end of more than two years of efforts to further expand renewable energies in the Cape, Juwi announced. Since then, the South African renewable energy market has picked up speed again.
"I'm even more pleased that our colleagues from South Africa have made this significant contribution to our track record with the construction of three utility-scale solar parks. After all, they had to wait more than two years until politicians settled their internal differences in terms of renewable energies", says Stephan Hansen, COO and member of the juwi Management Board
Juwi will also participate with new projects in the upcoming tender rounds for renewable energies in South Africa.
