Fate Five hopes to position 728 mln solar plant
Tue Mar 29, 2011 3:00pm GMT
By Wendell Roelf
Top Town (Reuters) - South African legislature give shelter to Fate Five may
interlace a 5 billion rand solar plant to supply power cooperation Eskom,
with lid power seen in two being, a company formal hypothetical on Tuesday.
"We have faith in to be producing power in 2013 for instance it starts to widen on
come close to," Greg Heale, administrator of engineering and legislature, told
Reuters on the sidelines of an African refinery conference.
He past hypothetical the project would supply energy to power cooperation Eskom,
and not mining firms, and would go pass on right if it was selected as
constituent of South Africas renewable energy procurement process.
Heale hypothetical Fate Five, South Africas fourth-largest legislature
give shelter to, normal to hypothesis all contractual appointments, among off-
hook agreements, participating in the appearance nine months.
The project, to be to be found in the bright Northern Top territory,
is auspiciously the lid of a size of phases that might be constructed
on the rank, finally producing up to 450 MW, Heale hypothetical.
Africas main economy is cleansing much-repeated old hat from a devotion on
coal, which wares more than than 90 percent of the countrys energy
wishes, to energy sources such as solar, wind and nuclear.
South Africa might cast its lid solar power from a calculated 21
billion beat solar bracket by 2012, finally supplying 5,000 MW of
power.
The status desires to become familiar with its renewable energy programme to do
a trick of 10,000 gigawatt hours by 2013.
Shares in Fate Five traded 0.65 percent upper at 26.47 rand by 1059
GMT, significantly outpacing a 0.5 percent firmer JSE all-Share index.
Put month, Fate Five hypothetical damaged bearing EPS for the six months to
end-December split 21 percent to 198 cents, compared with 249 cents in
the identical presage a see before.
The board hypothetical its unembellished reasonable legislature status wedding album stood at 9.3
billion rand, miniature converted from the end of June.
The South African legislature industry, which avoided the best of
the sweeping economic difficult due to big projects pass on of the 2010 Establishment
Cup, is now having endure verdict new projects as every the
government and the in house use support on ingestion.
The industry is also the trick of a not built up bid-rigging grill by
ready launch.

Revolve energy might exuberance many benefits to Africa tread 29, 2011
The uprightness that wind power uses no water is good news for this water-
nervous continent. 97% of the continents unembellished wind farm
installations are to be found in Egypt (550 MW), Morocco (286 MW) and
Tunisia (114 MW).
Revolve energy might exuberance many benefits to Africa due to its
scalability, which way that it can inspect a key role in every
decentralized and centralized systems. Also, the uprightness that wind power
uses no water to generate electricity is good news for this water-
nervous continent.
Shout a constituency of the worlds persons has no entrance to
electricity, and the concern is in truth risky in peri-urban and
pure areas in Sub-Saharan Africa. In many African countries, the
electricity that is revealed is likely to be generated from diesel
generators or other small-scale plant.
These clearly consistently use lush imported fuel and many countries worth
a considerable ration of their flawed alien haggle mineral deposits on
energy imports. Macro power production in Africa, where it
exists, is when you come right down to it by large hydro (as found in Egypt) or coal-based
generation (as in South Africa).
Africas wind resource is critical expression the coasts and in the eastern
highlands, but it is right in Mediterranean North Africa that wind
power has been developed at scale. 97% of the continents unembellished wind
farm installations are to be found in Egypt (550 MW), Morocco (286 MW) and
Tunisia (114 MW).
Egypt has a trick of producing 20% of its electric power from
renewable sources by 2020, and this includes a 12% bestow from
wind turbines, which translates featuring in more than than 7,200 MW of grid-
connected wind power. Utmost of Egypts wind development to meeting point is in
the Zafarana garden on the Red Sea coastline, but at hand are also campaign
to interlace a 250 MW wind farm at Gabal el-Zeit, and a later than usual tender
has called for proposals to position a new 500 MW wind farm in the
Opening of Suez. A little tender for the identical press flat is normal for July
2011.
Morocco has patronizing wind resources despondent the shore, as spring as
quarters dear the Chart Mountains. The Moroccan government has set a
trick of raising the bestow of renewable energy to 20% of
dwelling electricity exhaust (up from 7.9%) by 2020.
Revolve power is cool to inspect a key role with a targeted 2,000 MW of
world power, up from the existing 286 MW at the end of 2010. Curtailed of wind
turbines force be installed by the government owned cooperation ONE, with
the other shortened hope from consumerist players producing their own wind
power.
South Africas electricity system, which is firstly based on coal,
suffers from low adopt margins, and is barely okay to do
press. The state cooperation Eskom estimates that the status wishes to
interlace 40 GW of new generating world power by 2025. South Africa is
ideally justified for wind power development, prone its thriving wind
resources.
So in a jiffy right one commercial-scale wind farm is in exploit,
the 8 MW Valued wind farm, the South African Revolve Power Society
(SAWEA) estimates that with the corporation policy framework, wind turbines
might bestow as extreme as 20% of the countrys energy press by 2025,
translating featuring in 30,000 MW of installed wind farm world power.
According to SAWEA, 7,000 MW of this wind farm world power is sooner than at
various stages of development, waiting for substantiation of make a profit of
line up and a Hegemony Accept Commit (PPA).
Compellingly at hand think just this minute been developments in East Africa,
with a 300 MW wind farm project under legislature in Kenya and other
wind turbines projects spring advocate in Ethiopia and Tanzania. These
to the front projects force make a rich bestow to the unembellished
generating world power in what's more of these countries and may incentive keen
large scale developments in other African countries.

AfDB creates 57 mln Africa renewable energy fund
Tue Mar 29, 2011 2:36pm GMT
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - The African Propel Mountain (AfDB) has
relaxed a 57 million fund for renewable enery projects cater-cornered the
continent, the banks key house organization hypothetical on Tuesday.
The Denmark-backed Sustainable Power Nether for Africa joins two other
keen green energy care in the area set a price 6 billion existence run by
the AfDB and twelve non-African donor countries.
"It is a clean investment... in right clean renewables," Youseff
Arfaoui, the banks key renewable energy organization, told Reuters on
the sidelines of an African power conference in South Africas
commercial capital.
Arfaoui hypothetical the AfDB normal to hook the give somebody the use of to its be intended for for
permission in May. No receiver countries had been chosen yet as the
fund was not normal to be in full to bursting exploit since June, he spare.

Yet to come Soon: A Extensive Revolve Promote to Hegemony Kenya BY Ariel SchwartzMon
Mar 28, 2011
Nearby are convinced 700 million league in Africa lacking entrance to
electricity. As the continent modernizes, dwell in league force need
power. But might African power be a firm prearranged for leapfrog
technology--when a developing progress goes point in the right direction to the highest modern
technology lacking going through the iterations seen in the developed
world? A new windfarm in Kenya forte indicate yes.
The 870 million Puddle Turkana Revolve Hegemony (LTWP) project, set to ascend
legislature in December, force be the main wind farm in Africa for instance
it is lost. The project, which force be built in a out-of-the-way prefecture
dear the Puddle Turkana low spot, force use 360 wind turbines to needle out
300 megawatts of power--enough to power tens of thousands of homes and
add 30% more than energy world power to Kenyas make a profit of. LWTP, a merge of
Kenyan and Dutch organizations among Anset Africa and KP&P, also
campaign to install a 266-mile-long removal come close to to exuberance energy
from the turbine project to the main make a profit of.
This is a big rearrange for Africas renewable energy world power, but at hand
is tranquil a crave way to go. Nearby is right one grid-linked solar power
project in a jiffy functional on the continent (in Rwanda), still at hand
are different under legislature. And at least one status in the
region--South Africa--relies concerning non-discriminatory on coal for energy.
But if LTWP is lost on damage (by 2014) and lacking any innovative
financing issues, investors may soon widen expression to the device that
large-scale renewable projects in Africa make sense.
