SunEdison,
a
subsidiary
of
US-based
MEMC,
has
partnered
with
China’s
Chint
Group
–
owner
of
thin-film
module
producer
Astronergy
–
for
the
projects,
which
were
awarded
as
part
of
South
Africa’s
first
renewables
tender
round
late
last
year.
The
two
companies
have
worked
together
before,
including
on
a
24MW
array
under
development
in
India’s
Rajasthan
state.
Both
the
Witkop
and
Soutpan
projects
will
be
located
in
Limpopo,
South
Africa’s
northernmost
province,
where
relatively
little
renewables
capacity
has
been
allocated
to
date.
Construction
will
begin
in
January,
with
the
projects
slated
for
commissioning…
