ProposalDescription: 

The Development of a 400kV Loop-in-loop-out (LILO) Powerline to the existing Eskom Garona Substation and Expansion/Upgrade of the Eskom Garona Substation on Portion 4, 5, 9 and the Remaining Extent of the Farm Bokpoort 390, Groblershoop, !Kheis Local Municipality

Expanded_Motivation: 

In September 2020, the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) released a request for proposal as part of the Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme to reduce the current load shedding periods being experienced by the country. In responding to the request, ACWA Power led consortium submitted a bid for 150MWe under the name “Project DAO” and were successful. Project DAO received a Cost Estimate Letter (CEL) from Eskom as part of its solution towards the connection of the project to the national grid. The CEL indicated that additional strengthening of the Garona Substation will be required to in order to fully handle the capacity which would have been generated by the project. This further aligns to Eskom’s planned multiple grid strengthening projects across the country and due to the timelines they are not able to undertake the project. As such, ACWA Power Project DAO (RF) Pty Ltd will be construct the additional work as part of the self - build agreement between the two entities after which the infrastructure will be handed over to Eskom.
