Development Type: 

ProposalDescription: 

The Orange River Solar Facility 1 (PTY) Ltd has initiated the development of a 50 MW photovoltaic solar plant located on Portion 18 of the farm Rooisand 387 which is located near the town of Groblershoop, Northern Cape.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The proposed 132 kV sub-transmission line development will connect the Orange River Solar facility 1 to the Eskom high voltage sub-station, which is located northwest of Groblershoop in the !Kheis local municipality (Northern Cape Province) and falls within the ZF Magcawu District Municipality. Approximately 3.5 km long, the proposed transmission line will connect the proposed photovoltaic solar facility to the national grid through the selected Eskom sub-station. Approximately 2.6 km North of Groblershoop, the entrance to the farm Rooisand and Destination River Resort can be found to the left of the N8, a little past the Orange River bridge. Development of the proposed transmission line will affect the vegetation of a roughly 100 m wide servitude footprint area underneath the transmission line (10x10 m2 on around the foot of the transmission line pylons). Transmission lines require service roads, which would increase the actual area that would be influenced by the proposed development. However, the presence of an existing high voltage transmission line running near parallel to the proposed transmission line has an existing service road. Although existing roads can be used, which lowers the actual area that will be influenced by the proposed development, the development of a service road is still required for the new proposed powerline..
