DBSA has supported over 20 under-resourced municipalities in developing proper municipal infrastructure plans such as master plans in water, sanitation, electricity, roads and stormwater as well as for other infrastructure investments.
DBSA provided the planning and preparation support needed for the uMDM to conduct infrastructure refurbishment to replace ageing pipelines and further provided a R230 million loan to fund the implementation of the Water Infrastructure Refurbishment Programme.
The overall objective of the EGIP is to support the development and upscaling of solar photovoltaic and wind renewable energy embedded generation projects, developed by independent power producers operating in South Africa.
The DBSA supported three solar photovoltaic projects - Sirius1, Dyason’s Klip 1 and Dyason’s Klip 2 - developed by Scatec Solar under Round 4 of the REIPPP.
