70MW Doornhoek 1 PV Facility

Construction of a 70MW Doornhoek 1 photovoltaic facility on Portion 18 of the Farm Doornhoek 372 IP within the City of Matlosana Local Municipality, Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality, North West. The PV panels will have a maximum height of 2.5m above the ground. There will be associated infrastructure, a power line with a capacity of 132kV. The size of the substation/switching station: 1ha (this includes the IPP substation and the Eskom switching station). The substation will have switch gear portals up to 15m in height and possible lightening masts up to 25m in height. The facility substation will collect the power from the facility and transform it from medium voltage (up to 33kV) to high voltage (up to 132kV). Each facility will require inverter-stations, transformers, switch gear and internal electrical reticulation (underground cabling). The power line will have a capacity of 132kV and a length of 200m. Pylon type will be monopole structures with a height of between 12m - 35m. The number of pylons will be between 4-6, pylon spacing will be between 50m - 125 m. The exact GPS coordinates are -26.72654418864054, 26.61942062850121.
