IPPs can produce cheaper power - CIC

CIC Energy representative Tore Horvei said on Wednesday  that it is important that South Africa had to level the playing field and to get the different frameworks right to enable IPPs to enter the electricity market.

While government had recently announced that it would be moving away from Eskom as the single-buyer of electricity and towards an independent systems operator, Horvei noted that the process was convoluted and that this would likely only happen in the longer term.
