ProposalDescription: 

Eskom Distribution has identified the need to establish a new substation to be called Matsheketsheni substation in Osizweni outside Newcastle local municipality within the Amajuba District Municipality. Eskom is, therefore, proposing to establish an additional substation of approximately, but not more than, 100m x 100m (10 000m2) in extent.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The planned Matsheketsheni substation will strengthen power supply in the whole of Osizweni and its surrounding areas. The network from which Osizweni and the surrounding areas receives its electricity supply is currently overloaded and experiences severe voltage regulation problems. Presently and in the near future higher loads of new connections will have to be made in an around Osizweni. The network responsible for electricity supply in and around Osizweni does not have any spare capacity to supply any new connections. This then necessitates the establishment of an additional substation. The construction of a new Matsheketsheni 132/88kV 20MVA substation and power lines will be able to de-load the substations at Vlaklaagte and Blaauwbosch and therefore improve the quality of electricity supply in the greater Newcastle area.
