South Africa’s Department of Electricity and Energy, and Department of Trade, Industry and Competition, has introduced the PtX Project Development Standard (PDS), a national framework that will accelerate the development of bankable green hydrogen and Power-to-X projects, strengthening the country’s investment pipeline. The project’s implementation will be led by the Green Hydrogen Just Energy Transition Implementation Programme Management Office, which is hosted by the Industrial Development Corporation.
PtX PDS will provide project developers with a structured and transparent pathway towards investment readiness through a standardised assessment platform and questionnaire, allowing them to demonstrate the technical, commercial, financial and operational maturity of their projects to investors and development finance institutions.
Rebecca Maserumule, Programme Director of the Green Hydrogen Just Energy Transition Implementation Plan Programme Management Office, said: “The questionnaire takes less than 60 minutes to complete, offering project developers an efficient route to position their projects within a recognised national framework for investment readiness and investor engagement.”
