Africa: South African Power Pool (SAPP)

SAPP coordinates power utilities to support development and identify priority power projects. Many of these projects are not currently bankable because they have not adequately identified and assessed environmental and social issues. SRK developed an Environmental and Social Management Framework which the World Bank approved in 2018. It includes a set of tools to assist personnel, including checklists; management plan examples; and lists of accepted environmental and social requirements to guide utilities and independents to screen key power projects that meet lenders’ requirements to ensure bankability and support implementation.
