ProposalDescription: 

ARCHAEOLOGICAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (AIA) OF A DEMARCATED SURFACE PORTION ON THE FARM AVONDALE 410 FOR THE PROPOSED AVONDALE 1 PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER PLANT & 132KV POWER LINES DEVELOPMENT, //KHARA HAIS LOCAL MUNICIPALITY, ZF MGCAWU DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY, NORTHERN CAPE PROVINCE

Expanded_Motivation: 

A Photovoltaic (PV) Power Plant, known as the Avondale 1 Solar Park is proposed on the farm Avondale where an area covering 200ha has initially been identified as alternative for the plant. However, this footprint area was significantly altered to incorporate recommendations pertaining to sensitive ecological, heritage and geo-hydrological specialist recommendations see. The new footprint, measuring 270ha in total includes development areas for the Solar Park and two new sections of 132kV power line with an additional 650m long access road link to the N14. The solar facility will have a maximum generating capacity up to 75 MW. As noted above, the PV power plant will cover a footprint (fenced area) up to 270 ha within the study area, 1430 ha in extent. The initial application for a second facility, the Avondale 2 Solar Park, described in initial BID documents, was withdrawn.
