Roggeveld Wind Farm - Phase 1 (WC)

Establishment of the Roggeveld Wind Farm - Phase 1, a 140MW wind energy facility on a site located approximately 20km north of Matjiesfontein. The project development site falls within both the Western Cape and Northern Cape Provinces. Phase 1 of the Roggeveld Wind Farm will include the following infrastructure: Up to 60 2MW - 3.3MW wind turbines with a foundation of 20m in diameter and 3m in depth. Permanent compacted hardstand areas / crane pads for each wind turbine (60mx50m). Electrical turbine transformers (690kV/33kV) at each turbine (2m x 2m typical but up to 10m x 10m at certain locations). Internal access roads up to 12m wide. Approximately 11km of 33kV overhead power lines; and approximately 6km of 400kV overhead power line to Eskom’s Komsberg Substation. Electrical substations (an on-site 132/400 kV substation (100m x 200m) and a 400 kV substation (200m x 200m)) adjacent to the existing Eskom Komsberg Substation. An operations and maintenance building (O&M building) next to the smaller substation. Up to 4 x 100m tall wind measuring masts. Temporary infrastructure required during the construction phase includes construction lay down areas and a construction camp up to 4.5ha (150m x 300m). A borrow pit for locally sourcing aggregates required for construction (2.2ha).
