-In 1990, only 35% of total South Africans had access to electricity. In 1999, the Government launched the Integrated National Electrification Programme (INEP) to promote solar home systems (SHSs) to tackle energy access. By early 2000s, around&nbsp; 40,000–60,000 SHSs were installed but demand fell after the Electricity for all campaign (as off-grid communities were expecting the grid). The goverment also launched the National energy acess polices but these policies did not prioriteize off-grid solutions. Therefore, although the market for solar products increased overall in Africa, the SHS sector in South Africa remains relatively small in 2018.<ref name="https://infohub.practicalaction.org/bitstream/handle/11283/621079/PPEO_Web_lowres.pdf?sequence=1">https://infohub.practicalaction.org/bitstream/handle/11283/621079/PPEO_Web_lowres.pdf?sequence=1</ref>&nbsp;<br/>

 === Market Entry Barrier ===
 <u>There are no particular barriers for entering the market but following Steps need to be followed for setting up a Solar Power Plant/Project:</u>
 #Application-Department of Energy(DOE) invite Potential developers to submit their application/ proposals
 #Allotment -DOE with then assign a particular developer for the project after considering thier prices, proposals etc. It is a confidential process within DOE.

 #EPC- The sucessful bidder/project owner/ developer then hire an Engineering, Procurement and Constrcution (EPC) company for sucessful implementation of the project.
 #Commissioning- EPC handover the project to the owner after commisoning of the project and connecting it to the Grid .

 *October 2010--IRP 2010 targetting 7200MW(16%) Renewable Energy by 2030
 *<div>March 2011--> South Africa approved its Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) for the energy sector. The plan outlines the government's strategy for electricity generation by 2030. It sets a further ambitious target of 21,5 GW of new installed renewable energy generation capacity by 2030, comprising 9200 MW of wind capacity, 8400 MW of solar PV capacity, 1200 MW of solar CSP capacity.<ref>Department of Energy (DOE), South Africa</ref></div>
-*<div>'''The Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme''' (REIPPPP or REI4P) is the major driver of installing green power generation capacity in South Africa. It not only focusses on delivering sustainable power to the grid but also at creating jobs and fostering local development. The National Treasury (NT) and the Department of Energy (DoE) have joined forces to establish the Independent Power Producer (IPP) Office to manage the REIPPPP.
