The year 2011 saw South Africa’s Ministry of Energy launch its Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REI4P). This ambitious endeavor is part of the government’s Integrated Resource Plan that calls for challenging goals to be met, like reaching a 17,800 MW renewable power output by 2030, with 4,300 MW slated to go online by the end of 2019 and a further 2,000 MW by 2021. Among other planned goals, a reduction in CO2 emissions worth 17.25 MT, the creation of 30,000 new jobs, and above all, a comprehensive plan to foster the social and economic development of the country.
