The report provides the presentation of the financial benefits of renewables in South Africa in 2015. South Africa’s power system is currently under severe constraints. At the same time, Department of Energy is procuring new generation capacity and has already allocated a total of 8.1 GW of renewables (mainly wind & PV) for procurement from Independent Power Producers. The CSIR conducted a study on the financial benefits of the first renewables in South Africa in 2014. A continuation of this financial benefit study was conducted for the first 6 months of 2015.
