Programme
 The South African government’s Integrated Resource Plan (“IRP”)
sets an ambitious target to add 50,000 MW of new generation
capacity to the South African grid by 2028 with renewable energy
technologies accounting for approximately 42 per cent of this target
 It is against this background that the South African government,
through the Department of Energy (“DoE”), launched the
Renewable Energy IPP Procurement Programme in August 2011
 Under the programme, the DoE initially mandated the procurement
of up to 3,625 MW from IPPs of various renewable energy
technologies including : wind, solar photovoltaic, concentrated
solar power, biogas, biomass, small hydro and landfill gas. An
additional 3,100 MW was subsequently made available for
procurement under the REIPP Procurement Programme
REIPPP
Tender
Design
 Under the REIPP programme, bids are invited from developers in
sequential bidding rounds, or “windows”. To date, there have been
four bidding windows, with the fifth expected to take place in early
2016. Potential bidders are required to register basic details of their
proposed project(s) approximately two months ahead of the
relevant bid window and unsuccessful projects can be bid again in
future windows
 In each bid window, a maximum number of megawatts is made
available for each applicable technology and a price cap is set
(although the DoE has now removed the price cap for all the
technologies, having concluded that intense competition has driven
down prices and rendered a cap redundant)

10. REIPPP Overview (Cont)
 One qualification criteria which has become a key part of the programme is the
engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) arrangements. A bidder has to
provide details of its EPC contractor, including its track record and capability in building
the power plant
 Although this is not a specific bid compliance requirement, a competitive EPC price is
essential for a successful project and a balance needs to be struck between risk transfer
to the EPC contractor and price. Lenders will want the project company to be insulated
from risk, yet a blanket approach will not be accepted in the market. With experienced
and well resourced sponsors in place, there is scope for the project company to take on
appropriate risks – but this is all in the context of fixed “upstream” project documents (the
PPA and IA) that govern the process and place fixed obligations and timings on the
project company.
 These documents (and their impact on the EPC and operations and maintenance
arrangements) need to be understood, as they establish a framework for the
construction and operation of the projects.
 The correct flow-through of processes (in particular during commissioning and
commercial operation) and project relief (whereby the EPC contractor’s relief under the
EPC contract is limited to that which the project company obtains under the project
documents) are essential and must be considered pragmatically and commercially.
 Other key issues that need to be addressed include:
 dealing with delays caused by Eskom (in particular in relation to grid connection);
 site risk under the PPA;
 site access;
 payment structures and security;
 how issues particular to the local construction market can impact on construction
and operation;
 exchange rate risk;
 economic development obligations; and
 access to the transmission or distribution system.
 With continued pressure on tariff pricing there may be a move towards split contract
structures (where the project company employs an equipment supplier and a separate
balance of plant contractor – and manages the interface between the two).
The Role of EPC & Bidding Considerations Challenges and Lessons Learned
Simplified
Bidding
Requireme
nts
 The cost of bidding has been high due to the detailed and complex
nature of the bidding requirements. The DoE has sought to simplify
bidding requirements (and therefore lower bidding costs) by making
the following changes to the bid documents for the remaining
bidding rounds:
 Bidders no longer need to submit shareholders’ agreements in
respect of the project company or heads of terms with their
contractors and key equipment suppliers at the time of
submission. This eliminates advisory and other associated
costs incurred through negotiating these documents at the bid
stage;
 Certain licences and consents are not required until the
preferred bidder stage;
 The terms on which lenders can issue a letter of support to
provide debt financing have been relaxed; and
 Bidders only need to provide two hard copies and a soft copy
of the bid response as opposed to seven hard copies and
seven soft copies as was the case in previous bid windows.
Licenses
and
Consents
 Currently, the requisite licences and consents are obtained under
different pieces of legislation and from different government
departments with different timings and procedures. A single
umbrella legal framework for renewable energy procurement with a
“one-stop shop” government department for licenses and
consents would make the bidding process more efficient and this
would also help reduce the costs associated with liaising with
different departments
Project Site
 Securing the project site is a key component of the bidding process.
It is therefore important for a bidder to identify the project site and
conclude the necessary contracts in sufficient time to ensure that
the land arrangements meet land use and acquisition criteria. It is
also important for bidders to resolve any land tenure issues such as
any third party rights, existing mortgages
Grid
Connection
 Due to financial constraints, there have been concerns regarding
Eskom’s ability to build the network infrastructure necessary to
connect the large number of successful projects to enable them to
achieve commercial operations within the time frames specified in
the PPAs. In addition, grid connection costs have now become an
issue as the initial cost estimate letters provided by Eskom at bid
submission vary substantially from subsequent budget quotes
provided to preferred bidders. This has caused a delay in
successful third bid window projects reaching financial close

 The EW is open to all projects that are ready for
submission within the required timelines, and not only to
projects which were unsuccessful in previous bid
submission phases
 The Minister has allocated 1,800 MW to be allocated during
the EW. However, the Department is not obliged to allocate
all 1,800 MW during the EW
 It is also anticipated that the Minister will issue a Third
Determination that will provide for the procurement of a
further 6,300 MW to be generated from renewable energy
sources
 The EW RFP is one of the various procurement processes
that the Government will develop to procure this further
generation capacity from renewable energy sources
 Interested parties have until 6 October to respond to the
RFP, the DoE has advised bidders to apply for cost
estimate letters from the relevant grid provider as soon as
possible
The Price caps per Technology have been updated. Notably the Department has elected
once more to impose a Price cap on Onshore Wind and Solar PV technologies. Previously,
the Price cap was removed for these Technologies

● The additional MW made available by this determination are to be allocated across technologies as follows:
● Onshore wind 3,040MW, solar PV 2,200MW, CSP
● With this determination, the capacity allocation for the procurement of new generation capacity in future bid windows
will almost double from previous determinations which totaled 6,725MW
● The Minister has also issued a separate gas-specific determination stating that new generation capacity for the
procurement of 3,126 MW can come from any gas type or source
● This includes natural gas delivered to the power generation facility by any method (including by pipeline from a natural
gas field or elsewhere or a liquefied natural gas (LNG) based method), coal bed methane, synthesis gas or syngas,
above or underground coal gasification, shale gas and any other gas type as may be considered appropriate
● The Minister has issued an amendment to the existing determination relating to the Medium Term Risk Mitigation
Project IPP Procurement Programme 2012 by including additional capacity allocation for new generation capacity for
the procurement of 1,800 MW to be generated from:
● Waste heat or furnance off gas
● Cogeneration (i.e. the simultaneous generation of electricity and useful thermal energy from a common fuel
source); and
● An energy source which is a co-product, by-product, waste product or residual product of an industrial
process and / or sustainable agricultural or forestry activity
South Africa Renewable Energy IPP Programme Overview
Significant Announcements on SA’s Energy Programmes
In August 2015, the Minister of Energy issued new ministerial determinations for
additional capacity allocation for the country's renewable energy, gas and cogeneration
programmes
New Renewable Energy Determinations
The renewable energy determination provides the desired certainty that there will be a pipeline of renewable energy projects in South Africa’s
procurement of much needed new electricity generation capacity. The determinations on gas and cogeneration projects signal the government’s
commitment to diversify South Africa’s energy mix
