  • A new & modernised look and layout
  • Improved site usage flows with respect to applications and content creation
  • Improved site performance and stability

Launch for the new version of SAHRIS occurred on Monday the 30th of October 2023.

ProposalDescription: 

AGV Projects (Pty) Ltd is proposing the development of a commercial Photovoltaic(PV) Facility and associated infrastructure on a site located ~16km south-east of the town of Danielskuil and in the Northern Cape Province. The site is located within the Kgatelopele Local Municipality and the ZF Mgcawu District Municipality. The project site comprises the following farm portion: Portion 4 of the Farm Engeland 300 The Limestone PV21 will have a contracted capacity of between 75MWp to 100MWp. A broader study area of 1842 ha and a preferred project site with an extent of 200-300ha have been identified by AGV Projects (Pty) Ltd as technically suitable for the development of the Limestone PV 2 facility. Environmental Site Establishment processes were undertaken before the initiation of the EIA. The aim of the Environmental Site Establishment processes was to determine the suitability from an environmental and social perspective and identify areas that should be avoided in development planning. The project is planned as part of a larger cluster of renewable energy projects, which includes another 75-100MWp PV Solar Energy Facility (Limestone PV 1) located adjacent to Limestone PV 2 and 360MW Wind Energy Facility (Oryx Wind Energy Facility) also located near Danielskuil. The Limestone PV 2 project site is proposed to accommodate the following infrastructure: PV modules mounted on either a single axis tracking & fixed structure, dependent on optimisation, technology available and cost. Inverters and transformers. Low voltage cabling between the PV modules to the inverters Fence around the project development area with security and access control Camera surveillance Internet connection 33kV cabling between the project components and the facility substation 33/132kV onsite facility substation Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) with a footprint of 3-5ha. Site offices and maintenance buildings, including workshop areas for maintenance and storage as well as parking for staff and visitors. Laydown/staging area on site in front of mounting structures during installation. Temporary store area close to site entrance (Less than 1ha). Access roads (up to 6m wide) and internal distribution roads (up to 4m wide). Temporary concrete batching facility Stormwater management infrastructure as required The Limestone PV 2 facility is proposed in response to the identified objectives of the national and provincial government and local and district municipalities to develop renewable energy facilities for power generation purposes. It is the developer’s intention to submit a bid in terms of a regulated power purchase procurement process (e.g., REIPPPP) with the aim of evacuating the generated power into the national grid or obtaining a commercial PPA (Power Purchase Agreement). This will aid in the diversification and stabilisation of the country’s electricity supply, in line with the objectives of the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) with the Limestone PV 2 Facility set to inject up to 75MW (peak AC power) into the national grid. From a regional perspective, the area within the Northern Cape identified for the project is considered favourable for the development of a commercial PV facility due to the low environmental sensitivity of the identified site, excellent solar resource, and availability of land on which the development can take place. There is also potential for evacuating the power to the national grid via a direct grid connection at the Olien MTS (Main Transmission Substation) which is adjacent to the proposed site. The site is also in proximity to large electricity users which opens opportunities for commercial PPAs (Behind the metre connection Or Wheeling to a 3rd party off-taker).
