ProposalDescription: 

The Project Applicant is proposing the construction of a 132 kV overhead transmission power line and associated EGI to feed the electricity generated by the proposed Vhuvhili SEF to the switching station at the proposed Mukondeleli WEF. The electricity will be transferred from the proposed on-site substation at the proposed Vhuvhili SEF via a 132 kV power line which extends approximately 12 km in length to the proposed switching station at the proposed Mukondeleli WEF.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The proposed Vhuvhili 132 kV power line project will support the evacuation of electricity generated at the proposed Vhuvhili SEF into the EGI at Mukondeleli WEF wherefrom the electricity will be fed into Sasol’s Secunda Synfuels facility for the production of green hydrogen and green aviation fuel. The conversion of renewable energy into green fuels, represents a more (or possibly the only) viable option to decarbonise heavy industry and long-distance cargo transportation in South Africa which are ubiquitously difficult to abate with direct renewable energy and existing battery technologies. The proposed project supports South Africa’s pathway to invest R319 billion in developing and commercialising a green hydrogen sector, as articulated in South Africa’s Just Energy Transition Investment Plan, 2023-2027.
