Utility scale energy consumers such as mines and other large industrial enterprises have also adopted the government’s initiative of diversifying the energy mix. Vecteng can assist these Clients for procuring renewable energy through either the IPP model – Vecteng finances, builds, owns and operates the plant and electricity is sold to the Client at a tariff (usually R/kWh) or through the EPC & O&M Model, where the project is financed by the Client and Vecteng executes the EPC & O&M scope of the project.
