ProposalDescription: 

Proposed ~68ha Solar Photovoltaic Project, with Battery storage and associated 22kV Overhead Power lines, on Portion 183 of Farm Witpoortje 117IR, 17th Road and 10th Street, South of Brakpan, Gauteng.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The need and desirability of the proposed Ergo Solar Energy Facility is two-fold. The mine firstly needs a stable supply of energy to sustainably meet its electricity consumption demands through the proposal of generating clean energy, and secondly, by generating its own power, the mine can alleviate the current pressure on the Eskom grid. The impact of the proposed project on heritage resources is low and any impact to accidental finds can be mitigated to an acceptable level and no further pre-construction mitigation is required based on approval from SAHRA. Furthermore, the socio-economic benefits also outweigh the possible impacts of the development if the correct mitigation measures (i.e. chance find procedure) are implemented for the project
