Creamer Media's Energy Roundup is a monthly report providing a synopsis of energy-related news from South Africa during the past month. The March 2016 roundup covers activities across South Africa for February 2016 and includes details of the Department of Energy’s plans to announce the preferred bidders for the first tranche of the coal independent power producer procurement programme; the Council for Geoscience’s three-year research programme; and ArcelorMittal South Africa’s search for an independent power producer to build an 800 MW gas-fired power station on land at its Saldanha steel works, in the Western Cape.
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.
