ProposalDescription: 

Hotazel Solar Farm 1 (Pty) Ltd wants to build a a 132kV overhead transmission line to connect their solar PV park to the national grid.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Hotazel Solar Farm 1 (Pty) Ltd, owned by juwi renewable Energies (Pty) Ltd (juwi), wants to build a a 123kV overhead transmission line to connect their solar PV park, on the remainder of the Farm Annex Langdon (F278/0) near Hotazel, to the national grid. Aurecon South Africa (Pty) Ltd (Aurecon) was appointed to undertake the environmental authorisation process in terms of the National Environmental Management Act (No. 107 of 1998) (NEMA). Three transmission corridor alternatives to evacuate power from the Hotazel solar facility to the national grid were considered and assessed against the “no-go” alternative, i.e. the impacts of the project should it not proceed. Two of the transmission line alternatives connect directly to existing Eskom substations, namely the Hotazel and Umtu substations and the third Alternative is a shorter Loop-in Loop-Out (LILO) connection option connecting with Eskom’s Ferrum/Umtu 132kV distribution line near the site. Whichever one is constructed, it would form part of the national grid and therefore fall under Eskom’s ownership the transmission line has been constructed.
