Proposed development of the Northam PV facility near Thabazimbi, Limpopo Province

This application is for the proposed development of a 10MW PV Facility to be located within an identified broader study area. The Northam PV development is located within a 30km radius of two solar developments with approved Environmental Authorisations. The Solar PV facility is relatively small and will have a contracted capacity of 10MW and will use the tracking PV technology to harness the solar resource on the project site. A development area of up to 20ha in extent will be occupied by the PV panels and associated infrastructure. This 20ha development is located within a wider study area that was assessed for heritage significance.
