Risk Mitigation IPP Procurement Programme
18 March 2021 was a day of much excitement as the Preferred Bidders for the Risk Mitigation IPP Programme were announced by the South African Department of Minerals and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe.
Meadows Energy is pleased to be involved as a shareholder in the 128 MW Oya hybrid facility, which will eventually offer dispatchable renewable energy as part of the Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme ("RMIPPPP"), will use co-located wind turbines, solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays, lithium-ion batteries and a hybrid controller that orchestrates all three technologies to provide dispatchable power to the grid as and when needed.
This is an important milestone for Meadows Energy especially being a 100% woman owned company. We are looking forward to changing the energy sector in South Africa by being involved with cutting edge hybrid cleaner energy projects.
