The date for financial close has not yet been released by the Department of Energy.<\/p>\n<p>Mainstream has been awarded a total of 848MW of wind and solar projects under this programme since the first award in 2011. In addition to the projects awarded, Mainstream is currently constructing three wind farms in South Africa\u2019s Northern Cape, totalling 360MW, which it was awarded under Round 3 of the programme.\u00a0 Last year the company delivered three wind and solar facilities into commercial operation in South Africa under the first round of the programme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRenewable energy ticks three important boxes for South Africa\u2019s energy needs,\u201d said Barry Lynch, Managing Director Onshore Procurement, Construction and Operations for Mainstream. \u201cFirstly, the cost of these projects is now cheaper than new coal-fired generation. Secondly, they can be brought into commercial operation at the speed required and thirdly, they meet the scale needed to address the country\u2019s growing electricity demand.
