Gauteng Sets Sights on Solar Power to Diminish Loadshedding
Gauteng launches a groundbreaking 800MW solar power project, marking a significant step towards sustainable energy solutions and reducing loadshedding''s impact.
In a landmark initiative, the Gauteng Provincial Government (GPG) is poised to establish an 800MW solar farm park, marking a significant stride towards tackling power shortages and bolstering energy stability.
In total, Urban Solar Farms will install 150,000 solar panels across the Gauteng Province Urban Solar Farms fill a niche in the PV market in South Africa for mid-sized generation clean power projects, which falls outside of South Africa's Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP)
It is a 216 MW solar plant with a 500 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) built in Northern Cape Town Province. After its commercial operation, this solar power plant in South Africa will supply dispatchable electricity to the South African National Grid under a 20-year PPA, which is equivalent to 400 GWh per year.
The realisation of this new hub stems from EGA's committing to a R135-million investment at last year's South African Investment conference. The new facility is the largest solar panel assembly plant in Africa, and has created South African job opportunities and value addition through advanced manufacturing.
