The Department of Energy (DoE) has declared the completion of the pre-procurement phase for South Africa’s proposed roll-out of a nuclear new build programme, following the latest in a series of workshops with vendor countries and their companies.

Consultations had been conducted with seven counties, comprising Canada, China, France, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the US, with the most recent so-called vendor parade workshop having been held with Canada and Japan in late March.

The workshops included vendor countries presenting their nuclear technology offerings and how they intended meeting South Africa’s objective of building an industry around what could be a 9 600 MW build programme.

the Energy Security Cabinet Subcommittee would present the procurement process for approval by the Energy Security Cabinet Subcommittee and it would be supported by Cabinet.

As per the DoE, “Once endorsed by Cabinet the procurement process will be presented for deliberation by Parliament, and then government will launch a procurement process well in time to ensure that South Africa commissioned the first unit by 2023 and the last unit by 2030”.
