Italian group awarded three wind projects during SA’s fourth bidding round

Italy’s Enel Green Power (EGP) has confirmed that three of its wind-energy projects, collectively valued at €500-million, were selected as preferred bids following the much delayed fourth bid window under South Africa’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP). The company said in a statement that the projects had a collective nameplate capacity of 425 MW and marked an important step in consolidating EGP’s presence in Africa.
