Eskom launches tender to ‘repurpose’ coal plants with low-carbon growth tech |
The debt-saddled South African utility has issued an expression of interest to seek proposals on how to refurbish three fossil fuel power plants to be decommissioned in the current decade. Eskom said that all of the proposed solutions should be at the tech-readiness level.
South African utility Eskom has issued an expression of interest for "Decomissioned Power Station Repurposing."
The state-owned company said that some of its coal-fired power plants are approaching the end of their 50-year design lifecycles. It added that a number of units have already been scheduled for decommissioning over the next decade.
"Furthermore, national legislation requires decommissioned power plants, together with their surrounding brownfield sites, to be rehabilitated and for rigorous post-decommissioning environmental impact monitoring regimes be implemented," it said.
Eskom is seeking proposals on how to "repurpose" old, dirty power plants with technologies that support low-carbon growth, enterprise development, and sustainable job growth.
"It is vital that innovative solutions with a win-win value proposition be sought and explored to mitigate the potential negative impacts of Eskom's decommissioning programme on all stakeholders," the utility added.
