ProposalDescription: 

Proposed construction of a Photovoltaic Solar facility with associated infrastructure near Collet substation, Middelburg, Eastern Cape

Expanded_Motivation: 

The proposed construction of the PV facility will be the first phase of establishing the 75 MW facility that will generate electricity from solar radiation. The proposed facility will be comprised of: • Arrays of photovoltaic panels for the generation of electricity; • Dedicated inverters to convert the electricity from DC to AC; • Underground cabling between the photovoltaic panels and dedicated inverters; • An overhead 132 kV power line connecting into the Eskom Collett substation; • External access road along Rosmead-Cradock railway line or across the farm Buffelspoort 336; • Internal access roads; • Administrative/security buildings. The aim of the design and lay-out of the facility will be to maximise electricity generation through exposure to solar radiation, while minimising infrastructure, operational and maintenance costs, as well as environmental & social impacts.
