ProposalDescription: 

Bojating Village Solar Project Company (Pty) Ltd (part of the Baphalane Tribal Authority) proposes to develop a Solar Photovoltaic (“PV”) Plant near Bojating (hereafter referred to as the Baphalane Solar Farm), 45 km north west of Rustenburg in the North-West province. The proposed Baphalane Solar Farm will be located just north of the Bojating Village on the Farm Elandsfontein 69 JQ (Damplaas) in the Moses Kotane Local Municipality within the Bojanala Platinum District Municipality.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The facility will entail the installation of Solar PV Panels (approximately 200,000 modules) on a single-axis tracking structure with the potential to generate approximately 100 Megawatts (“MW”) of electricity. Associated support infrastructure on site will include the following: • Operations & Maintenance (O&M) building, including a control room; • Water supply borehole and water storage tanks; • Transformer Substation; • A battery energy storage system (BESS) with a capacity of up to 400MWh; • Stormwater infrastructure; • Security fencing and security guard station; • Staff facilities; • Access and internal roads; • Electrical reticulation network; and • 132kV electricity transmission line (separate EA application to be undertaken). The project will also entail the development of approximately 25 hectares of Agrivoltaics which will combine agricultural production (potentially avocadoes and mangoes) and the generation of solar power at the same time.
