The Development Bank of Southern Africa is inviting proposals for a Legal Transaction Advisor to support the Independent Power Producers Office (IPP Office) in the assessment and implementation of converting two Peaker power plants from diesel to gas. This project aims to enhance energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact in alignment with the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) 2025. The advisor will be responsible for conducting comprehensive legal due diligence, advising on regulatory compliance, and facilitating negotiations with stakeholders, including the Sellers, National Transmission Company South Africa, and relevant government departments.
