ProposalDescription: 

Eskom proposes to develop a new power line from Gromis substation via Nama substation towards Aggeneis substation in the Northern Cape Province. In order to ensure that the Namaqualand network is compliant and that there is sufficient line capacity to accommodate potential Independent Power Producers (IPPs) within the Namaqualand area, the construction of the new Gromis-Nama-Aggeneis 400 kV line and establishment of a 400/132 kV yard at Nama substation is proposed. The Screening Assessment aims to assess possible route alternatives for the proposed new power line. The development of large scale electricity transmission infrastructure triggers Listed Activity 9 of Listing Notice 2 of the 2014 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations (as amended), which usually would require a full Scoping and Environmental Impact Assessment. However, when such a development is to take place within a Strategic Transmission Corridor, a Basic Assessment (BA) Process in terms of the 2014 EIA Regulations (as amended) is to be followed. This speeds up the Environmental Authorisation process for EGI developments within any of the five Strategic Transmission Corridors. A prerequisite for the BA process to be followed is however the obtaining of a servitude prior to application for environmental authorisation. One of the objectives of this SEA process was also to provide developers with the flexibility to consider a range of route alternatives within the strategic corridors to avoid land negotiation issues and to submit a pre-negotiated route to the Competent Authority. As noted above, this has been achieved for the development of EGI within any of the five Strategic Transmission Corridors gazetted in February 2018 (GN 113 in Government Gazette 41445), for which: (a) a pre-negotiated route must be submitted to the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA); and, (b) a BA procedure needs to be followed in compliance with the 2014 EIA Regulations (as amended) instead of a full Scoping and EIA process previously triggered by such activities.
