CLAIRE 03 power project constitutes a proposed Photovoltaic (PV) Power generation facility on two portions of land in the Olifantsfontein Area, Gauteng Province. The ~9 4709m2 proposed development area is located on Portion 109 of the Olifantsfontein 402, registration division J.R, Province Gauteng (measuring 6,9708 Ha) and Portion 110 of the Olifantsfontein 402, registration division J.R, Province Gauteng (measuring 2,5001 Ha), located in Region B of the City of Ekurhuleni, Tembisa CCC. CLAIRE 03 power project combined 2 sites will be sufficient to accommodate the forecast 15.00 MW PAC facility or 25,2 GWhr / year output; The energy will be distributed to the Offtakers via, a 33 Kv indirect connection to an Eskom substation within the Clayville Industrial area, and wheeled through the Eskom network. The Offtaker sites receiving the wheeled energy; Consol Glass – Wadvelle and, Consol Glass – Nigel (Note Consol Glass is now known as Ardagh Glass Packaging South Africa Proprietary Limited). The solar plant modules will be mounted on a fixed tilt facing east and west where the solar structure will be ground mounted, allowing for lower land rehabilitation costs; Other infrastructure on the site includes fencing, internal roads and gate, all other infrastructure will be accommodated on adjacent sites. The energy to be delivered to the Eskom substation will be accommodated through CLAIRE 01 and CLAIRE 02. Ie the energy from CLAIRE 03, will be cabled to CLAIRE 02 which is the immediate adjacent site, and through the CLAIRE 02 onsite substation, the respective energy will be distributed to the Eskom Substation- to clarify there will be not direct connection via CLAIRE 03 to the Eskom substation. CTS Heritage previously completed a desktop assessment for these two other related and adjacent PV Facilities, CLAIRE 01 and CLAIRE 02 (SAHRIS Case IDs 18933 and 18934) for which SAHRA has issued Final Comment.
