The preferred bidder status for the DoE's two 75 megawatts (MW-DC) Letsatsi and Lesedi solar photovoltaic (PV) projects provides the consortium with the right to proceed with executing the 20-year government-supported power purchase agreements with South African power utility Eskom. The solar projects will be built in the Free State and Northern Cape provinces of South Africa, with construction scheduled to commence by June 2012.

"The Letsatsi and Lesedi PV projects will generate clean, renewable energy to power over 50,000 homes in South Africa while also delivering meaningful and sustainable economic and social benefits," said Stephen Donnelly, Managing Director of Intikon Energy told PRNewswire.com, adding that the project will generate approximately 600 construction jobs and 100 permanent operational jobs.
