ProposalDescription: 

PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF THE 765KV GAMMA SUBSTATION AND ASSOCIATED POWERLINE TURN-IN INFRASTRUCTURE LOCATED ON PORTION 1 OF THE FARM UIT VLUGT FONTEIN NO.265 AND REMAINDER OF FARM SCHIETKUIL NO.3 IN THE PIXELY KA SEME AND CENTRAL KAROO DISTRICT MUNICIPALITIES, WESTERN CAPE PROVINCE AND NORTHERN CAPE PROVINCE (DFFE REF: 12/12/20/873)

Expanded_Motivation: 

Eskom Holdings SOC Limited received an Environmental Authorisation (EA) (Reference: 12/12/20/873) dated 19 November 2007 for the proposed construction of the 765kV Gamma Substation on Portion 1 of the Farm Uit Vlugt Fontein No.265 and the Remainder of Farm Schietkuil No.3 in the Pixley Ka Seme and Central Karoo District Municipalities: Western Cape and Northern Cape Provinces. The EA authorises the construction of the Gamma Substation in phases/stages as per the Final EIA report undertaken by ACER in 2007. A further amendment was undertaken to correct the co-ordinates within the EA and subsequently granted on 22 February 2008. The first phase of the Gamma Substation commenced with construction activities within the validity period of the EA and concluded construction in 2013. The first phase of the Gamma Substation as authorised has been constructed and is currently operational, however the next phase of the substation proposed is located on the Remainder of Farm Schietkuil No.3 and Portion 1 of the Farm Uit Vlugt Fontein 265 (as authorised) comprising of a 132kV/400kV substation yard at the existing Gamma Substation, and related turn-in of the existing 400kV Droerivier Hydra No 2 Overhead Powerline (OHL) and associated infrastructure is yet to be constructed. The holder of the EA now proposes to commence construction of the next phase (phase 2) of the authorised development, specifically the development of a 132kV/400kV yard at the existing Gamma Substation and turn-ins of the existing 400kV Droerivier- Hydra 2 OHL, as provided for in the current EA (Reference: 12/12/20/873).
