ProposalDescription: 

Scope of Work Description 1) Taylor’s Halt 132/22kV Substation A 132/22kV substation called Taylor’s Halt SS will be established complete with earthworks, drainage, access road, fencing & gates, earthmat & foundations. In addition, 132/22kV transformers and 2 x 132kV line bays to loop in and out of Ariadne/Elandskop 132kV line will be installed. Part of the scope of work is to identify and construct/establish a temporary laydown area required for the construction phase of the power line. A setup within the proposed substation area is ideal. 2) Ariadne/Elandskop Taylor’s Halt 132kV line (loop in & out) A 2,63km 132kV power line will T-off from Ariadne/Elandskop 132kV line and Loop in Loop Out to Taylor’s Halt 132kV/22kV Substation on double circuit structures. The current Application is for the construction of the following:  Construct a ± 2,63km overhead 132kV line outside an urban area from the T-off with the 132kV Ariadne/Elandskop line to the proposed Taylor Halt substation.  Construct 132/22kV Taylor’s Halt Substation.  Clearance of an area of ± 3,5 hectares (175m X 200m = 35 000m2) for Taylor’s Halt substation and a temporary laydown area on ± 50 x 50 metres inside the substation site. An additional laydown area of 60m by 60m might be required for the powerline construction.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd is mandated by the South African Government to ensure the provision of reliable and affordable power to South Africa. Eskom's core business is in the generation, transmission (transport), trading and retail of electricity. The reliable provision of electricity by Eskom is critical for development and related employment in South Africa. The proposed construction of a ± 2,63km 132kV powerline is initiated by Eskom to ensure the reliability and quality of supply of the network. Edendale 132/22kV, Elandskop 88/11kV and Mpophomeni 88/11kV transformers are currently loaded above 95% of their nameplate ratings. With the expected load growth, these transformers will exceed their nameplate rating. Also, Edendale NBEM, Edendale NBEC, Vulindlela NB57 and Mpophomeni NB54 are overloaded. Taylor’s Halt 132/22kV substation will de-load the two transformers at Edendale and Mpophomeni as it will split the four networks (Edendale NBEM, Edendale NBEC, Vulindlela NB57 and Mpophomeni NB54).
