Proposed part 2 amendment to the existing Environmental Authorisation for the Modderfontein WEF, near Victoria West located in both the Northern and Western Cape

The original Environmental Authorisation has authorised up to 67 wind turbines for the Modderfontein WEF with a total generating capacity of 201 MW using turbines with a generating capacity of up to 3 MW. The Applicant has proposed the following amendment to the existing Authorisation: Up to 25 wind turbines with a total generating capacity of 140 MW using turbines with a generating capacity of up to 5.6 MW. Please note the proposed development will be an approximately 67% reduction in turbine density which should at least maintain and possibly even reduce the impact levels as previously authorised.
