Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme (REIPPP)

Source: JOIN IEA/IRENA Policy and Measures Database
Last updated: 9 November 2017

In March 2011 Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme (REIPPP), a public procurement programme, replaced the Feed-in Tariff system, which was introduced in 2009.

Qualifying technologies: onshore wind, solar PV, solar thermal, biomass solid, biogas, landfill gas and small hydro plants.

A ceiling tariff level is established for each technology in the auctions. Winning bidders sign PPAs, which are guaranteed for a period of 20 years.

From 2011 to the beginning of 2015 five rounds of reverse auctions were held for construction and supply of 3,625MW of large-scale (>5MW) renewable energy capacity.
