Kgabalatsane Solar Facility

Construction of the Kgabalatsane Solar Facility. The solar energy facility is proposed to comprise of the following infrastructure: Photovoltaic (PV) panels of up to 55MW in export capacity; proposed on site substation to evacuate the power from the facility via a new 132kV power line into the Garankuwa substation; the proposed 132kV power line will be 16km in length; alternatively, the power would be excavated via the new onsite substation via a loop in loop out to the existing power line which is approximately 3km from the onsite substation; mounting structures to be either rammed steel piles or piles with pre-manufactured concrete footings to support the PV panels; cabling between the project components, to be lain underground where practical; internal access roads and fencing; workshop area for maintenance, storage, and offices. This solar facility will be located approximately 18km north east of Brits in the North West Province.
