Eskom to make more land available for private power generation

a tender for the second phase of a project to make land around its power stations available for the construction of private renewable energy projects, including large-scale solar systems.

The land lease programme, which was launched in April 2022, makes land available to IPPs that is close to network connection points, reducing the time needed to build new grid connection infrastructure. “Rather than buying the electricity from the IPPs, Eskom facilitates a process for the IPPs to be able to wheel the power over the Eskom grid, either for their own consumption, or to sell on to other consumers,” it said.
