Enel (Rome, Italy), through its renewable
energy subsidiary Enel Green Power RSA (EGP RSA), has brought the
82.5 MW Adams and Pulida solar photovoltaic (PV) plants into commercial
operation, which are respectively located in South Africa’s Northern
Cape and Free State provinces, the company announced on February 6th, 2017.
Together, Adams and Pulida will be able to generate
318 GWh of solar power per year, equivalent to the annual consumption
needs of around 100,000 South African households.
20-year PPA with South African power utility Eskom
The two solar plants are supported by a 20-year
power supply agreement with South African power utility Eskom, which
Enel was awarded in 2014 following the third round of the Renewable
Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) tender
promoted by the South African government.
EGP RSA currently owns and operates three other PV
plants in South Africa: Paleisheuwel (82.5 MW), which is situated in the
Western Cape province, Tom Burke (66 MW) in the Limpopo province and
Upington (10 MW), which is located in the Northern Cape province.
