Moteka, Mr PG to ask the Minister of Energy

What number of jobs will be created at each Independent Power Producer company which had its bid approved by his department?

Reply:

Therefore, job numbers are reported in aggregate. Only the Renewable Energy Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) has commenced with construction and operation of IPP projects. Under the REIPPP Programme a total number of 112 projects have been procured and it is envisaged that these projects will create 114 266 job years over the construction and 20 year operations period. A job year is equivalent to a full time employment opportunity for one person for one year.
