# The Independent Power Producer office will issue a request for qualification in July, ahead of a November tender for the first phase of Independent Transmission Projects. This phase involves one-thousand-164-kilometres of transmission lines and transformers across three provinces. Successful bidders will design, finance, build, and operate facilities before transferring ownership to the National Transmission Company of South Africa. Draft regulations are open for public comment, with a credit guarantee vehicle planned for 2026 to mobilise private-sector capital.
