Solar PV has emerged as big IRP ‘winner’, report asserts

"Solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies have emerged as the “big winner” in South Africa’s 20-year integrated resource plan (IRP) for electricity, which indicates that the PV solutions could deliver 8 400 MW of new capacity by 2030, a new report by Frost & Sullivan argues.

The target could translate into the deployment of a “staggering” 300 MW a year of large-scale solar PV from 2012 onwards, potentially transforming the country into a “solar gold mine”." More here, on Engineering News
