Eskom gives assurance that MTPPP programme is intact
South African power utility Eskom has dismissed suggestions that its Medium Term Power Purchase Programme, better known as the ‘MTPPP’, has been delayed and says that it is in the final stages of adjudicating proposals.
Engineering News has received correspondence for several potential participants expressing concern that the process had seemingly stalled.
Some even raised whether the process might not be headed in the same direction as Eskom’s so-called multisite base-load independent power producer (IPP) programme, which had been delayed until to May, at the earliest. The State-owned enterprises said that the decision to postpone the release of the request for proposals for the IPP programme had been taken to allow time for outstanding regulatory matters to be dealt with.
