南非正式开始第六轮新能源招标，共2.6GW

南非可再生能源独立电力发电商采购计划(REIPPPP)的第六轮招标已向相关方（interested parties）开放。

The sixth bidding round of South Africa’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) has opened for interested parties.

上周晚些时候，南非矿产资源和能源部(DMRE)在第五轮招标计划中标结果公布之后大约六个月，再次正式宣布开放了该窗口。

Late last week South Africa’s Department for Mineral Resource and Energy (DMRE) formally opened the window around six months after winning bids in the tender programme’s fifth round were announced.

这轮招标旨在采购约2.6GW的可再生能源产能，申请截止日期为2022年8月11日。

The round is seeking to procure around 2.6GW of renewable capacity, and the application process is to remain open until 11 August 2022.

一份在国家IPP项目上发布的通知确认道，在提交文件之前，需要为每个项目支付25000南非兰特（1700美元），并且不可退。

A notice published on the country’s IPP Projects confirms the need for non-refundable deposits of ZAR25,000 (US$1,700) per prospective project to be paid before documents can be submitted.

矿资源和能源部在此轮截止日期前会召开一次线上投标会，但会议的具体信息将在后续公布。

DMRE is to also host a bidders’ conference online prior to the closure of the round’s deadline, however details of that event are to be made available at a later date.

南非可再生能源独立电力发电商采购计划(REIPPPP)已经在南非可再生能源领域取得了成功，在过去的五轮招标中授予了数吉瓦的可再生能源。然而，该计划的原计划还是遭到了很多的延误，而在前几轮中中标的项目也因电 限制和本国成分要求而变得复杂。

The REIPPPP has been a success for South Africa’s renewables sector, awarding contracts to gigawatts of renewables capacity over its five previous rounds. However the programme has encountered numerous delays to its initially-forecasted schedule, while projects to have won in previous rounds have also been complicated by grid constraints and domestic content requirements.

南非矿产资源和能源部长曼塔谢此前表示，预计第6次投标窗口将从风能发电中采购多达1600兆瓦，其余1000兆瓦将来自太阳能光伏发电，符合综合资源计划所列出的该国能源结构。
