ACCIONA, Aveng to build Gouda Wind Park and Sishen Solar PV plant in South Africa

The Department of Energy of South Africa selected two projects presented by ACCIONA and Aveng in the second round of the Independent Power Producers Renewable Bid (IPP REBID). The installations are a 135.2MW wind park (138MW nominal capacity) and a 74MW photovoltaic solar plant (94MWp), which will be built between 2013 and 2014.

The two facilities will be ACCIONA's first investments in South Africa, a country that has pledged to diversify its energy mix with renewable sources while seeking to fulfill the country's growing demand for power.

South Africa plans to award 3,725MW in clean energy projects by the end of 2013, as part of a long-term strategy to incorporate 17,000MW of new renewable energy capacity by 2030.....
