Summary of 2015: 2.0 % of system load supplied from wind & solar PV in South Africa

The South African Department of Energy is procuring new generation capacity and has already allocated a total of 8.1 GW of renewables (mainly wind and solar photovoltaic – PV) for procurement from Independent Power Producers (IPPs)

• … of this, 6.3 GW have achieved preferred bidder status

• … of this, 4.0 GW have financially closed and signed the Power Purchase Agreements with Eskom

• … of this, ~1 075 MW of wind and 965 MW of solar PV were operational and fed energy into the grid end of 2015

In 2015, total wind and solar PV production was 4.7 TWh, supplying 2.0% of the South African system load

• Maximum daily total energy from solar PV and wind combined was 22.2 GWh (3.4%), which occurred on 2 Nov 2015

• Wind power achieved a maximum peak power production of 898 MW between 17h00-18h00 on 26 Nov 2015

• Solar PV power reached a maximum peak power of 931 MW between 12h00-13h00 on 3 Nov 2015

• Maximum instantaneous power contribution of wind and solar PV was 6.0% on 1 Nov 2015 between 14h00-15h00

• Maximum instantaneous power contribution of wind alone was 4.0% on 7 Sep 2015 between 3h00-4h00

• Maximum instantaneous power contribution of solar PV alone was 3.6% on 26 Dec 2015 between 13h00-14h00

Total monthly wind and solar PV production from Jan to Dec 2015 varied between 331 GWh and 500 GWh

• The monthly wind production from Jan to Dec 2015 varied between 130 and 275 GWh

• The monthly solar PV production from Jan to Dec 2015 varied between 134 and 226 GWh
