BPC procures 6 solar PV projects

Two of these projects are under construction; three are at a financing stage while the other one is at a PPA signing stage. Speaking at the Tlou Energy groundbreaking ceremony recently, Kgoboko said a further 69MW from eight solar PV projects is under procurement.

He further said solar PV technology without battery storage can only produce electricity during the day in the sun. “This intermittency of solar power generation has to be augmented with other sources of generation which can be dispatched at any time of the day and are not weather dependent.
