Creamer Media's Energy Roundup is a monthly report providing a synopsis of energy-related news from South Africa. The April 2021 roundup covers activities in March 2021, and includes details of State-owned power utility Eskom’s commitment to complying with South Africa’s tightening minimum emission standards; Eskom’s progress on its so-called reliability maintenance programme to improve the performance of its coal fleet; the eight preferred bidders selected as part of government’s 2 000 MW emergency procurement programme, as well as the launch of the much-anticipated fifth bid window for the procurement of new wind and solar.
The report is a summary of information published in Engineering News and Mining Weekly, as well as of information available in the public domain, and does not purport to provide an analysis of market trends.
