ProposalDescription: 

South Africa Mainstream Renewable Power Developments (Pty) Ltd (“Mainstream”) is proposing the construction and operation of one (1) Solar Photo Voltaic (PV) Energy Facility (SEF) with a generation capacity of up to 110 megawatts (MW), Battery Energy Storage (BESS) and associated infrastructure. The overall objective of the proposed development is to generate electricity by means of renewable energy capturing wind and solar energy to feed into the national grid. The proposed Ezelsjacht SEF (this project) is located approximately 13 km south-east of the town De Doorns, within the Cape Winelands District Municipality of the Western Cape Province (Portion 6 of the Farm Ratelbosch No. 149). The proposed site for the 110 MW SEF falls within the Breede Valley Local Municipality. The overall objective of the proposed development is to generate electricity by means of renewable energy technologies capturing solar energy to feed into the national grid.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The proposed SEF will consist of PV Panels, internal and access roads (with a width of up to 12 m during construction), a construction laydown area/camp, Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Building and Independent Power Producer (IPP) portion of Substation, amongst other associated infrastructure. The solar PV energy facility will have a generation capacity of up to 110 MW. In addition to the infrastructure mentioned above, the SEF will also potentially include energy storage infrastructure if it is deemed economically feasible to do so. This will consist of an area for a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) covering an extent of up to approximately 5 hectares (ha). Currently, the battery technologies being considered are either Solid State Batteries or Redox Flow Batteries.
