dc.description.abstract South Africa’s power system is currently under severe constraints with load shedding that occurred during 82 days in the first half of 2015. The Department of Energy is procuring new generation capacity and has already allocated a total of 8.1 GW of renewables (mainly wind & PV) for procurement from independent power producers. The CSIR conducted a study on the financial benefits of the first renewables in South Africa in 2014, and a continuation of this financial benefit study was conducted for the first 6 months of 2015. Wind and solar energy changed the residual load in such a way that cheaper new conventional power stations can be built. en_US
