ProposalDescription: 

Noblesfontein Wind Farm was issued an Environmental Authorisation (EA) during 2012 (DFFE Ref: 12/12/20/1993/1 & 14/12/16/3/2/75) and has since been constructed. Coria (PFK) Investments 28 (Pty) Ltd operates a commercial wind energy facility, as well as the associated infrastructure (Substation and powerline) on a site near Victoria West within the Northern and Western Cape Province. The facility is to be called the Noblesfontein Wind Energy Facility of up to 44 turbines with a generating capacity of up to 123 MW over an area of approximately 22 ha (on farm portions: remaining extent of Farm Noblesfontein 227, Portion 3 of the Farm Noblesfontein 227, Portions 2, 3 and 4 of the Farm Ezelsfontein 235, remaining extent of the Farm Annex Noblesfontein 234, Portion 1 of the Farm Annex Noblesfontein 234 and Portion 1 of the Farm Rietkloofplaaten 239. With reference to the Section 24G process undertaken for the above facility relating to the changes associated with the internal road layout (Ref: 14/12/16/3/2/75), the current layout of the facility has been identified as a compliance matter and included in the latest Environmental Audit Report undertaken for this wind farm. The Department’s Compliance and Enforcement Section has since responded to the Applicant with a Warning Letter. It is thus understood that the matter has been closed by Compliance and Enforcement. The layout of the above development has been updated to reflect the current layout of the wind farm and now requires an amendment of the EMPr to formalise this.
