Well, South Africa has completed the building of a number of ambitious solar farms in recent years, contributing to the country’s burgeoning renewable energy sector. It had over 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity, and this figure is predicted to skyrocket to more than 8GW within the next decade.
Consequently, South Africa is now Africa’s biggest market for IPP solar PV projects. Since the promulgation of the original IRP in 2011, the 10 largest solar projects in South Africa ranked by MW-peak are either launched or under development are the following: Solar Capital Orange (Pty) Ltd.; JA Solar Investment.
Solar PV capacity accounted for 16.4% of total power plant installations globally in 2023, according to GlobalData, with total recorded solar pv capacity of 1,496GW. This is expected to contribute 33.7% by the end of 2030 with capacity of installations aggregating up to 4,822GW. Of the total global Solar PV capacity, 0.67% is in South Africa.
