ProposalDescription: 

The proposed development is primarily a linear development and includes the construction of two new substations located at each end of the grid connection line. A combined switching station and high voltage substation on the Farm Visserspan 40 will serve as the collection point for electricity generated from the proposed Visserspan Solar PV Facility.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The proposed development is primarily a linear development and includes the construction of two new substations located at each end of the grid connection line. A combined switching station and high voltage substation on the Farm Visserspan 40 will serve as the collection point for electricity generated from the proposed Visserspan Solar PV Facility. From the switching station, electricity will be fed via overhead powerlines to the east, turning north east to trace the northern boundary of the Farms Mooihoek No. 1547 and Vasteveld No. 1548, before turning north east and running along the southern boundary of the Farm Kinderdam No. 1685, finally connecting to the proposed new Kinderdam main transmission substation (MTS). From the Kinderdam MTS, electricity will feed into the existing Eskom Perseus/Theseus 400kV overhead powerline that runs adjacent the site. The estimated total length of the grid connection line is about 6km and will be either via 132kV steel monopole, or 400kV pylon overhead powerlines. The servitude for the proposed grid connection will be ± 55m wide. Existing farm roads and farm maintenance roads will be used, and no new roads will need to be constructed.
