South Africa
South Africa launched its Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) on August 3, 2011. It is a bidding system with a maximum price of ZAR 2,850/MWh ($262; €191) for solar photovoltaic systems. It has a non-refundable application fee of ZAR 15,000 ($1,379; €1,007) and is designed to stimulate large-scale projects (>5 MW). It also has domestic content rules that require 45% of the goods and services of a project to be supplied from local manufacturers and service providers.
The dates for Fourth Bid Round Submissions are yet to be released:
