ProposalDescription: 

LTM Green Energies (Pty) Ltd (the “Applicant”) has proposed the development of Grootvlei 600MW Solar Plant, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Grid Connection Project north west of Ventersdorp within the JB Marks Local Municipality in the North West Province, South Africa (the “Project”). The electricity generated by the Project will be transmitted through Option 1 which consists of 2 x 132kV powerlines, approximately 14km kilometres (km) in length, from the new facility 33kV substation to new 400/132kV Main Transmission Substation (MTS) to Loop In-Loop Out (LILO) of the Pluto – Watershed 275kV power line and Option 2 that comprises of 2.8km 132 kV line from the new facility 33kV substation facility 33kV substation to the Makokskraal Substation. The Applicant intends to bid for the current and future Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) bid windows and/or other renewable energy markets within SA.

Expanded_Motivation: 

Electricity generation sources need to be diversified to ensure security of supply and reduction in the carbon footprint created by the current heavy reliance of South Africa (SA) on coal to produce electricity. The electricity demand is increasing in SA, and in order to match that demand there is a need to supply a diversified power generation that includes renewable energy technologies. These technologies include solar, wind, small utility scale hydro, biomass, biogas and energy storage that the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) intends to develop and implement as identified in the approved Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) 2019.
