Sasol confirms making 600 MW own-gen proposal in response to DMRE RFI

Sasol CEO Fleetwood Grobler confirmed on Monday that the energy and chemicals group made a submission to the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy in line with its request for information (RFI) on possible emergency electricity solutions that could be “grid-connected in the shortest time at the least possible cost”. The RFI closed at the end of January and Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe announced last week that 481 responses had been received outlining supply and demand solutions to close an immediate supply shortfall of 2 000 MW.
