The South African Renewable Energy Council (Sarec) has slammed as a “blatant distortion of facts” Eskom’s claim that the country suffered a net economic loss of R9-billion in 2016 as a result of the State-owned utility’s purchases of power from the country’s renewable-energy plants. It has also appealed to Eskom to sign outstanding renewables power purchase agreements (PPAs), arguing that doing so would ensure South Africa realised the benefits of the falling tariffs that have been achieved as a result of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP).
