Botswana: AFR registers four projects in South Africa


Issue 283 - 08 Aug 2014 | 2 minute read

Australia’s African Energy Resources (AFR) has registered four coal power projects with the South African Department of Energy (DoE) for the upcoming baseload independent power producer (IPP) procurement programme. The DoE gave interested parties until 25 July to respond to a request for registration, which is aimed at clarifying how the projects will connect to the grid, and avoiding some of the delays that have plagued the third round of the renewable energy IPP procurement process. As expected, AFR has registered its 300MW coal power project at Sese, Botswana, which it is developing with Saudi partner Acwa Power.
