The Story
The Project
The project ran from September to December 2020. It was the design phase of a programme to enable collaboration for maximum development impact in the IPP sector. It was oriented around the operations of Mainstream Renewable Power close to Springbok and Scatec Solar close to Upington.
The project set out to analyse the current socioeconomic environment in these areas, to identify high impact areas for development and optimise IPP SED and ED spend accordingly for long term sustainable and inclusive growth.
