Proposed "Phase 2" of SA's Renewable Energy Feed-In-Tariff Up for Comment

The National Energy Regulator of South Africa have released a consultation paper for expansion of technologies to be included in SA's Renewable Energy Feed-in-Tariffs. Read more here, on Engineering News or view the consultation paper, here on NERSA's website. The article confirms (amongst other things) that the paper "outlined the levelised cost of electricity for CSP without storage as R3,132/kWh. For PV greater than 1MW the levelised cost of electricity is R4,488/kWh; solid biomass is R1,181/kWh; biogas is R0,962/kWh, concentrating PV without storage is R5,481/kWh; and CSP tower with storage is R2,308/kWh.". It also states that "Wave, tidal and geothermal technologies were excluded" as these technologies are not yet "commercially available".
