ProposalDescription: 

Vulpecula Energy (Pty) Ltd (Reg. No. 2021/534272/07) is proposing the establishment of a solar energy generation facility with associated infrastructure and structures on Portion 10 of the farm Wildebeestlaagte 411 KQ, located within the Thabazimbi Local Municipality, Waterberg District Municipality, Limpopo Province, approximately 2.5 km SouthWest of Northam. Exigent Engineering Consultants CC has been appointed to oversee the legislative environmental processes applicable to the proposed project. The renewable energy generation facility will use Photovoltaic (PV) technology. The name of the proposed facility will be SPITSKOP SOLAR PARK. The PV Power Plant will have a maximum generating capacity of up to 75 MW. The proposed Spitskop Solar Park will deliver the electrical energy to the Eskom Spitskop substation through a new 88 kV (or 132kV) power line of approximately 1.6 km in length. An 88 kV (or 132 kV) feeder bay will be commissioned and equipped at the Eskom Spitskop substation. The chosen site is suitable for the installation of a photovoltaic (PV) power plant. It is appropriate morphologically (flat terrain) and regarding the favourable radiation conditions. The available radiation allows a high rate of electric energy production, as a combination of latitude - longitude (24° 57' 14” S, 27° 14' 21” E) and climatic conditions.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The proposed development site is located on Portion 10 of the farm Wildebeestlaagte 411 KQ, measuring 316.1 ha, located in the Thabazimbi Local Municipality, Waterberg District Municipality, Limpopo Province, 2.5 km South-West of Northam. The proposed PV Power Plant is located within the quarter degree grid cell 2427CC and has geographic coordinates at 24°57' 31.27"S and 27°14’ 13,49"E and an approximate extent of 190 Ha. An Environmental Authorisation application will be submitted National Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment (DFFE) in terms of the EIA Regulations under Section 24(5), and 44 of the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) (Act No. 107 of 1998), as amended of the intent to carry out the Environmental Impact Assessment Process (in terms of listed activity 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 24, and 25 of Listing Notice 1 – GN R983, as amended (GNR 327) and listed activity 1, 9, 15 and 25 of Listing Notice 2 – GN R984, as amended (GNR 325) and listed activity 4, 12 and 14 of Listing Notice 3 - GN R985, as amended (GNR 324). The listed activities triggered under GN R983, GN R984 and GN R985, will require an EIA Process. An Integrated Water Use License Application (IWULA) will be submitted to the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) for applicable water uses listed in Section 21 of the National Water Act,1998 (Act 36 of 1998).
