HAGA HAGA WIND ENERGY FACILITY ACCESS ROAD UPGRADES IN THE GREAT KEI LOCAL MUNICIPALITY, EASTERN CAPE

The Haga Haga Wind Energy Facility (WEF) was authorised on 5/07/2019 (DFFE Reference: 14/12/16/3/3/2/1087). The Environmental Authorisation (EA) received an amendment on 03/06/2021 (DFFE Reference: 14/12/16/3/3/2/1087/AM1). The original EIA included a 42 turbine layout and associated internal road network, the amendment reduced the number of turbines to 36 and the internal road network was changed to match this. The internal road layout will be built as per the layout submitted during the amendment, within allowable micro siting limits. The WEF has not yet been constructed.

Several of the site access points will require upgrades on farm portions which were not included in the previous applications. Haga Haga Wind Farm (RF) (Pty) Ltd. (the Applicant), is therefore proposing to upgrade the existing roads leading to the access points, which will link up with the approved WEF internal road layout to allow for access to the site for construction and operation purposes.
