Proposed development of the Sonvanger OHL near Theunissen in the Free State

The activity entails the development of a 132kV single-circuit power line to enable the connection of the authorised Sonvanger Photovoltaic Solar Power Plant (DFFE ref.: 14/12/16/3/3/2/672) to the national grid network. This will enable the evacuation of the generated solar electricity. A 200m wide and 22km long grid connection corridor is being assessed for the placement of the power line route. The power line is proposed to connect into the existing Oryx-Joel 132kV Line. A service road associated with the power line is also proposed to be developed.
The activity entails the development of a power line which will be single circuit and have a capacity of 132kV. The power line will connect to the existing Oryx-Joel 132kV Line via a loop-in loop-out connection and will enable the evacuation of the generated electricity from the authorised Sonvanger Photovoltaic Solar Power Plant. The project is proposed by Pele Green Energy (Pty) Ltd.
