ProposalDescription: 

Background Information Document for the proposed development of a Photovoltaic Power Plant on the Farm Brakfontein 897-HN, Taung by Brakfontein Solar Power Plant (Pty) Ltd in the North West Province

Expanded_Motivation: 

Brakfontein Solar Power Plant (Pty) Ltd proposes to develop a Photovoltaic (PV) Power Plant and associated infrastructure, which will have a power generation and distribution capacity of 75 MegaWatt (MW) that will feed into the an existing Eskom 132 kV line. The development will have a footprint of approximately 225 hectares. The PV plant will use the solar radiation (light energy) from the sun to generate electricity through a process known as the Photovoltaic Effect. Individual PV cells are made of semi-conductive material, such as silicone, that absorbs solar radiation to produce electricity. The direct conversion of sunlight to electricity occurs without any moving parts or environmental emissions during operation. Proposed location of the power plant It is proposed that the power plant is established on a portion of the farm Brakfontein 897 HN (S27.584966°, E024.417409°), located approximately 35 km west of the town of Taung and 27 km east of the town of Reivilo in the North-West Province
