Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) in the Amersfoort Area

Construction of a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) and associated infrastructure in the Amersfoort Area, Mpumalanga Province. A CCGT plant uses a combustible gas in a combustion chamber (gas turbine). This heat is used in heat recovery system generators and steam turbines to generate electricity. The proposed construction will consist of the following components: The CCGT power plant (with a total installed capacity of approximately 2100MW, comprising 6 units of approximately 350MW each.); A compressor plant; Ignition gas plant for unit start-up (using commercial propane); Weather and communication mast of up to 60 metres in height; High voltage yard; A gas pipeline from the adjacent gas cleaning plant to the CCGT; Electricity supply for construction; A water supply pipeline from the Rietpoort Balancing Dam (for construction and operation); A water treatment plant; Sewage treatment plant; Borrow pits; Storage facilities for waste and hazardous substances.
