billion through an innovative and efficient programme<br />
which encouraged private investment into the <strong>South</strong><br />
<strong>African</strong> power generation sector. The Renewable Energy Independent<br />

Private Producers Procurement<br />
Programme (REIPPPP) came<br />
about in a hurry because the<br />
lights went out in <strong>South</strong> Africa –<br />
literally – in 2008. Officials within<br />
Treasury were mandated to set up<br />
a programme to attract private<br />
investors.<br />
According to figures released<br />
by the Department of Energy,<br />
the REIPPPP by 2016 had not only<br />
delivered multiple millions in investments,<br />
but also created more<br />
than 30 000 jobs and benefited<br />
local community development to<br />
the tune of R256-million.<br />
