The Redstone Solar thermal Power Project will be the first of its kind in Africa and will enter commercial operation in early 2018.
SolarReserve and lead partner, International Company for Water and Power Projects, a Saudi firm, submitted the lowest tariff bid to the South Africa Department of Energy for any CSP facility in the country.
According to SolarReserve, Redstone with 12 hours of full-load energy storage will be able to reliably deliver a stable electricity supply to more than 200,000 South African homes during peak demand periods, even well after the sun has set.
