In its force majeure notice to wind independent power producers (IPPs), Eskom has indicated that, should the system operator issue an instruction to a wind farm to reduce energy output during the period of the Covid-19 lockdown, the IPP would be granted an extension equivalent to the period of curtailment. The notice, which was delivered to IPPs on March 31, was issued in response to the 21-day lockdown announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa for the period beginning at midnight on March 26 to midnight on April 16.
